Power Lever Linkage Failure

If the Power Lever linkage fails in flight, the engine will not respond to
power lever control movements. Use power available and flaps as
required to safely land the airplane.
If the power lever is stuck at or near the full power position, proceed to
a suitable airfield. Fly a forced landing pattern. With landing assured,
shut down engine by moving mixture control full aft to CUTOFF. If
power is needed again, return mixture control to full RICH and regain
safe pattern parameters or go-around. If airspeed cannot be
controlled, shut engine down and perform the Forced Landing
checklist. After landing, bring the airplane to a stop and complete the
Emergency Engine Shutdown on Ground checklist.
If the power lever is stuck at or near the idle position and straight and
level flight cannot be maintained, establish glide to a suitable landing
surface. Fly a forced landing pattern.
