About 17) FAILED FLT CONTROL SYSTEM
This type of accident is now very rare, but it is possible to have a mis-rigged, unresponsive, broken cable, or even a jammed flight control. Often the aircraft is still controllable to some extent in this condition but it warrants declaring an emergency and asking for all available assistance. Your return may be without incident, or it may not be.
