## Discrepancy

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A POWER REDUCTION FOR DESCENT, THE LEFT ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE MOVEMENTS.  AN UNEVENTFUL, LEFT ENGINE FEATHERED LANDING WAS MADE.  POST-FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED THE BALL AND SOCKET STYLE ROD END SEPARATED.  ALL ENGINE CENTERED ROD ENDS REPLACED WITH SPHERICAL BALL TYPE ROD END.
