What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On takeoff out of lit during an instructional flight, at 200 feet AGL the elevator down cable came into contact with the electrical conductor in eletrical cable H64B6, which runs between the normal eletric heat relay and the normal heat 200A current limiter. (These items are located in the subfloor under the captain's seat). A chafing condition had existed between the elevator down cable and and electrical cable H64B6 for an undeterminate period of time. Enough electrical current was delivered to the flight control cable to cut it. The aircraft lost elevator response. The instructor pilot took command of the aircraft and accomplished and uneventful landing utilizing elevator trim for pitch control.
