Landing and Bounce
During the fourth and final landing, the aircraft touched down and bounced two or three times. Throughout this sequence, the throttle was at idle and the elevator control was held full aft.
Go-Around Attempt and Runway Excursion
After the aircraft landed on the runway, the pilot elected to perform a go-around. When power was applied, there was no response from the elevator. The pilot aborted the takeoff, and the aircraft veered off the left side of the runway near the departure end.
Post-Crash Inspection Findings
The pilot stated that there was no pre-impact failure or malfunction of the engine or flight controls. However, a post-crash inspection of the aircraft revealed that the elevator flight control cables were binding due to a buckled floor in the cockpit area.
