 Aviation Safety Network: Accident Report Frontier DC-3C 21 December 1967   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the failure of the crew to perform a pre-takeoff control check resulting in takeoff with the elevators immobilized by a control batten.
From its investigation of this accident the Safety Board concludes that the kind of environment which existed within the flight operations of Frontier Airlines during the planning and preparation for Flight 2610 was one which might well be expected to culminate in a serious incident of some kind.
The Safety Board concludes that some of the weaknesses in the airlines' operating system which contributed to the accident environment were, in part, the result of a lack of management capability and depth to meet the general problems associated with the airlines' current merger.
