The aircraft, a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel, experienced a loss of rudder authority upon landing at the Cherry Capital Airport (KTVC), Traverse City, Michigan. The airplane was not damaged and the four occupants onboard were not injured. The flight was operated under 14 CFR Part 91 Subpart K: Fractional.
NTSB determines the probable cause(s) of this incident as follows: The inoperative galley drain tube heater, which allowed water within the tube to freeze and led to its failure; the tube’s failure allowed water to drain onto the rudder cables and freeze and resulted in the rudder binding during landing.
