## Discrepancy

ON DECEMBER 17, 1996, EN ROUTE, LEFT THROTTLE CABLE BECAME FROZEN UP.  FLIGHT CONTINUED ON AND UPON ARRIVAL ON FINAL APPROACH, SHUT THE LEFT ENGINE DOWN AND LANDED UNEVENTFULLY.  PUT THE AIRCRAFT IN A HEATED HANGAR UNTIL THE THROTTLE THAWED OUT, THEN BLEW AIR AND MOUSE MILK LUBRICANT THROUGH THE CABLE.  THERE HAVE BEEN NO MORE PROBLEMS.
