## Discrepancy

THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED AN UNCOMMANDED POWER REDUCTION IN CRUISE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE LEVER INPUT.  THE PILOT ACTIVATED THE FUEL CONTROL MANUAL OVER-RIDE AND ACCOMPLISHED AN UNSCHEDULED LANDING.  GROUND INSPECTION COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT.  THE FUEL CONTROL UNIT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED.
