| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot-in-command reported that the flight controls were free during the preflight and before takeoff checks. He stated the applied power to takeoff and at Vr (125 knots) when he went to pull back on the yoke, it would not move. He stated he tried to pull back three times to no avail. The takeoff was aborted and the airplane traveled off the end of the runway into a field. Examination of the airplane failed to reveal any failure/malfunction which would have prevented normal operation of the flight controls.
Probable Cause: the pilot-in-command's inability to rotate during takeoff due to restricted movement of the elevator controls for undetermined reasons.
