Bent elevator pushrod found after Cessna Citation 560XL uncommanded nose‑up pitch and near‑stalls
U.S. investigators found a bent elevator pushrod on a Cessna Citation 560XL after the jet experienced an uncommanded steep climb and multiple pitch‑up excursions that brought it to near‑stall. The aircraft adopted an unusually high nose‑up attitude immediately after landing‑gear extension, triggering the probe.
