Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot stated that after a takeoff run, the controls locked and he could not pull the aircraft off of the runway. Subsequently, the plane collided with a dirt bank beyond the end of the runway, became inverted, and slid backwards. An inspection of the aircraft flight controls revealed proper continuity. Two flight control locks were found in the aircraft. One was for a Cessna 182 and the other was for a Cessna 172. The Cessna 182 control lock was found in the side pocket near the left seat. The Cessna 172 control lock was found on the windshield below the pilot's control column. It was noted that when the Cessna 172 control lock was installed in this aircraft, it would not cover the ignition and master switches. The control column locking hole in this aircraft was oriented in a horizontal position, whereas, locking holes in Cessna 172 aircraft are installed vertically.
