NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

On 10 December 2011, at 1028 Newfoundland Standard Time, an Exploits Valley Air Services Hawker Beechcraft 1900D aircraft (registration C-GLHO, serial number UE-266), operating as Air Canada Express flight EV7645, was conducting a scheduled passenger flight from Gander to Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador with 2 crew members and 13 passengers on board. After the crew began the take-off roll on Runway 21, they noted the control column was stuck in the full forward position. The take-off was rejected and the aircraft was taxied back to the terminal. The aircraft was not damaged and there were no injuries. The investigation is being conducted by the Canadian Transportation Safety Board. The NTSB has appointed a U.S. Accredited Representative to assist the investigation under the provisions of ICAO Annex 13 as the State of Manufacture and Design of the airplane.
