## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A TEST FLIGHT, THE LT POWER LEVER CABLE FROZE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO INPUTS. THE OAT AT THE TIME WAS -28 DEG C. THE POWER SETTING WAS AT MAX ITT FOR TEST PURPOSES.  SINCE THE PILOT COULD NOT REDUCE POWER, THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND THE PROPELLER WAS FEATHERED. THE AC RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. UPON INVESTIGATION, MOISTURE WAS FOUND IN THE POWER LEVER CABLE. THE MOISTURE WAS REMOVED FROM THE CABLE AND THE CABLE WAS INSPECTED SERVICEABLE. THE AC WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. (TC NR 20080205008)
