## Discrepancy

AFTER THE FLIGHT CREW PERFORMED THE STALL STICK PUSHER TEST THE ELEVATOR CONTROL WOULD NOT MOVE PAST NEUTRAL  FROM THE NOSE DOWN POSITION.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND FOUND THE STICK PUSHER ENGAGED.  MAINTENANCE DISCONNECTED AND SECURED THE STICK PUSHER UNIT FOR THE PURPOSE OF A FERRY FLIGHT.  AN UNEVENTFUL  FERRY FLIGHT WAS COMPLETED TO PIT WHERE MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE STICK PUSHER UNIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 27-33-03.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE COMPLETED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
