Unsafe Condition
If the power control friction wheel is tightened, the reverse thrust latch may stick and subsequently allow the Power Control Lever (PCL) to be inadvertently retarded aft of the idle detent. This could result in undesired reverse thrust activation, especially during approach, leading to reduced control of the airplane.

Required Actions
Inspect the power control lever reverse thrust latch handle for free movement within 30 days after the effective date. If the latch sticks or the idle detent is not present, insert Temporary Revision No. 12 to the Pilot's Operating Handbook before further flight, and modify the engine control console assembly within 12 months. Remove the temporary revision after the modification. If the latch moves freely and the idle detent is present, no further action is required.
