Read the full NTSB narrative

JUST PRIOR TO TURNING ON FINAL APPROACH TO LAND, THE PILOT EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. HE CONTINUED THE APPROACH BUT DECELERATED MORE RAPIDLY THAN HE ANTICIPATED AND WAS UNABLE TO CLEAR A STAND OF TREES ON THE APPROACH PATH. EXAMINATION REVEALED A LOSS OF CONTINUITY IN THE THROTTLE LINKAGE WHICH WAS DISCONNECTED AT THE CARBURETOR. THE OWNER/PLT STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKED SECURE IT WAS POSSIBLE TO PULL THE THROTTLE CABLE LOOSE FROM THE CARBURETOR AND HE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REDESIGNED.
