What was found
AFTER TAKEOFF FROM SCOTTSDALE, AZ (KSDL) AT 07:23 AM, THE FLIGHT CREW RECEIVED A PRIMARY ELEVATOR TRIM FAIL AMBER CAS MESSAGE AT APPROXIMATELY 5,000 FEET DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB. THE CREW COMPLETED THE REQUIRED CHECKLIST PROCEDURES, WHICH INCLUDED DISENGAGING THE AUTOPILOT AND RESETTING THE ELEVATOR TRIM CIRCUIT BREAKER; HOWEVER, THE MESSAGE REMAINED ACTIVE. THE NEXT STEP IN THE CHECKLIST WAS TO ENABLE THE SECONDARY TRIM, BUT THE CREW NOTED THAT THE SECONDARY TRIM WAS UNRESPONSIVE. PER THE FAILURE PROCEDURES FOR A "JAMMED OR INOPERATIVE ELEVATOR TRIM SYSTEM," THE CREW COMPLETED THE REQUIRED CHECKLIST ITEMS, DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, AND RETURNED TO KSDL, LANDING SAFELY AT APPROXIMATELY 08:12 AM. TEXTRON AVIATION TECHNICIANS SUBSEQUENTLY DISPATCHED TO SCOTTSDALE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE LEFT ELEVATOR TRIM ACTUATOR (VENDOR P/N 2A7218F, TEXTRON AVIATION P/N 9912731-6), AND ALL WORK WAS COMPLETED ON OCTOBER 19, 2026.
