After landing, the pilot stayed on the step, and water taxied. The pilot had the control yoke up to his chest, and the captain's side control separated from the vertical column. Examination of the surface control column assembly, fitting P/N 112703, revealed that the fracture surface showed no evidence of preexisting fracture areas on any of the four fracture regions. All fractures were typical of overstress separations.
Probable Cause: the overload separations of the control yoke on the captain's side.
