## Discrepancy

LEFT THROTTLE CABLE JAMMED IN FLIGHT AND COULD NOT BE MOVED.  THE PILOT HAD TO FEATHER LT ENGINE AND THEN LANDED THE ACFT WITHOUT INCIDENT.  INSPECTED LT THROTTLE CABLE AND FOUND THE CABLE TO BE JAMMED AT THE LT ENGINE CARBURETOR CABLE ATTACH POINT.  RECOMMEND REPLACING CABLE AND REPOSITIONING CABLE CLAMP TO ALLOW A BETTER CABLE ALIGNMENT.
