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 acft experienced extreme oscillations about the pitch axis with the control column moving fore & aft from 1 to 3 inches. The oscillations varied directly with airspeed. No out of limit conditions were found until after a second occurrence when the elevator trim tab hinge was replaced due to wear and a measured play of 5/32 of an inch. No further oscillations were experienced.
