It doesn't appear that ice was a factor: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...ck=1&cset=true The pilot is claiming that something broke: http://www.wkyt.com/Global/story.asp?S=2902222 A radio report I heard said that the pilot said that he couldn't pull the yoke back, at which point he discontinued the takeoff. Probably all that frost on the elevator made it too heavy to lift up for rotation. :-) It does sound like something failed that blocked or froze the control column. Sounds unlikely, but this was an experienced captain (one source said 15,000 hours) so I trust he knew that the stick wasn't moving enough for takeoff. Matt |
