Narrative:
On very short final with the autothrottles on, my first officer noticed that the right throttle was not moving much. He confirmed this by trying to work it first with the autothrottle on, then turned the autothrottle off. The throttle would not move either way and was jammed in position. Since the engine was producing more thrust than would be needed after touchdown, I said if he had a problem, I would immediately shut the engine down. All of this happened in about a 10-15 second time frame. During the flare, it became apparent that stopping the aircraft safely and normally might be a problem, so we just shut down the engine for a mostly normal touchdown and rollout. Maintenance subsequently took the aircraft OTS for the rest of the day.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: F100 CREW HAD A STUCK THROTTLE ON #2 ENG THAT HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN ON LNDG ROLL AT ORD. ACFT TAKEN OTS FOR MAINT.
Narrative: ON VERY SHORT FINAL WITH THE AUTOTHROTTLES ON, MY FO NOTICED THAT THE R THROTTLE WAS NOT MOVING MUCH. HE CONFIRMED THIS BY TRYING TO WORK IT FIRST WITH THE AUTOTHROTTLE ON, THEN TURNED THE AUTOTHROTTLE OFF. THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT MOVE EITHER WAY AND WAS JAMMED IN POS. SINCE THE ENG WAS PRODUCING MORE THRUST THAN WOULD BE NEEDED AFTER TOUCHDOWN, I SAID IF HE HAD A PROB, I WOULD IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENG DOWN. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN ABOUT A 10-15 SECOND TIME FRAME. DURING THE FLARE, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT STOPPING THE ACFT SAFELY AND NORMALLY MIGHT BE A PROB, SO WE JUST SHUT DOWN THE ENG FOR A MOSTLY NORMAL TOUCHDOWN AND ROLLOUT. MAINT SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE ACFT OTS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
