## Probable cause

THE FAILURE OF THE CARBURETOR THROTTLE CABLE BECAUSE OF AN INADEQUATE ANNUAL INSPECTION CONDUCTED 4.6 FLIGHT HOURS AND ONE MONTH BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power(partial) - mech failure/malf, takeoff - initial climb
  - throttle/power lever,cable - failure,total (cause)
  - maintenance,annual inspection - inadequate, other maintenance personnel (cause)
- Forced landing, descent - emergency
- Nose over, landing - roll
  - landing gear,nose gear - overload

## Analysis

THE ACFT LOST POWER SHORTLY AFTER TAKE-OFF & A FORCED LDG WAS MADE STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE ACFT FLIPPED INVERTED DURING THE LDG. POST ACCIDENT INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE THROTTLE CABLE HAD FAILED.

## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Accident 19890709021009A](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19890709021009A), Jul 9, 1989: Cessna 182A, Kissimmee, FL, Substantial damage. Appears throttle cable broke on climbout causing power loss to idle. Nose gear fork broke on landing. Nosed over.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
