What was found
WHILE INSP INOPERATIVE ELEVATOR TRIM, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY FRAYED CABLE JAMMING TRIM DRUM, FOUND LOOSE ELEVATOR ACTUATOR ARM PN 8351502. THE END OF THE ARM COULD BE MOVED 1 INCH IN ALL DIRECTIONS. ALL ACTUATOR ARM TO ELEVATOR RIVETS EXCEPT 1 WERE SHEARED OR LOOSE. SINCE BOTH UP AND DOWN STOPS ARE ON THIS ARM, WE BELIEVE A JET BLAST OR SEVERE WIND, FROM THE REAR CAUSED THE ELEVATOR TO HIT STOPS.
