The Part 91-operated McDonnel Douglas MD-87 involved in the October 19 runway excursion accident following a rejected takeoff at Houston Executive Airport had jammed elevators, the NTSB said yesterday. Agency investigators found that the airplane’s left and right elevators were jammed in a trailing-edge-down position and neither elevator could be moved when manipulated by hand.
