## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON OCTOBER 31, 05, THE PILOTS WHEN APPROACHING, WERE TOLD TO RETURN TO DEPARTURE, BECAUSE THE AIRPORT WAS CLOSED. UPON LANDING AFTER SLOWING THE AIRCRAFT, THE PILOT TRIED TO BRING THE POWER LEVERS TO FLT IDLE, BUT THE NR 3 ENGINE WOULD NOT MOVE.  MAINTENANCE WAS CALLED TO INSPECT THE CAUSE OF POWER LEVER ON NR 3 ENGINE JAMMED. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE AME THAT THE POWER LEVER CONNECTION ON THE ENGINE WAS JAMMED, AND THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.  THE AIRCRAFT INSPECTED IAW FERRY FLIGHT PERMIT AUTHORIZATION PROCEDURES, AND AIRCRAFT FLIGH T MANUAL PROCEDURES.
