Factual narrative
THE PLT FAILED TO REMOVE THE CONTROL LOCK DURING HIS PREFLT INSPECTION; THUS, THE ELEVATOR CONTROL WAS LOCKED & NO PITCH CONTROL WAS AVAILABLE DURING THE TAKEOFF. ROTATION OCCURRED WHEN THE ACFT REACH FLYING SPEED. THE ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE & ITS PITCH ANGLE CONTINUED TO INCREASE UNTIL THE ACFT DECELERATED & STALLED. THE ACFT THEN DESCENDED OUT OF CONTROL, CRASHED & BURNED. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
