## Discrepancy

LOSS OF ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL CONTRIBUTED TO A FORCED LANDING AND SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.  INVESTIGATION DISCLOSED A CRACK IN THE RIGID THROTTLE CONTROL CONDUIT ALLOWING THE FLEXIBLE CONDUIT TO SEPARATE FROM THE FIXED CONDUIT HOUSING.  RECOMMEND CLOSE INSPECTION OF THIS AREA AT THE 100-HOUR ANNUAL INSPECTION.
