Narrative:
During the downwind phase of the flight; the throttle lever was reduced to configure for landing. Upon moving the lever; I noted no change in manifold pressure. I concluded the throttle linkage or other items were inoperative; therefore executed a normal landing with full engine power due to the stuck throttle. The mixture was brought to cutoff on final and a normal; non eventful landing was made.

Title: A C182 ENG FAILED TO RESPOND TO THROTTLE MOVEMENT DURING APCH. THE ENG MIXTURE WAS CUT OFF ON SHORT FINAL WITH THE ENG AT FULL POWER. LNDG WAS NORMAL.
Narrative: DURING THE DOWNWIND PHASE OF THE FLT; THE THROTTLE LEVER WAS REDUCED TO CONFIGURE FOR LNDG. UPON MOVING THE LEVER; I NOTED NO CHANGE IN MANIFOLD PRESSURE. I CONCLUDED THE THROTTLE LINKAGE OR OTHER ITEMS WERE INOP; THEREFORE EXECUTED A NORMAL LNDG WITH FULL ENG PWR DUE TO THE STUCK THROTTLE. THE MIXTURE WAS BROUGHT TO CUTOFF ON FINAL AND A NORMAL; NON EVENTFUL LNDG WAS MADE.
