The Canadian TSB reported the crew subsequently vacated the runway and tested the flight controls and found the elevator travel heavy during the first third of travel, then becoming normal. The crew configured the aircraft for another takeoff, applied more force during the takeoff rotation and completed the flight to Edmonton.
Company maintenance subsequently visually inspected elevators, elevator tabs and horizontal stabilizers and performed an operational test of the elevator control system with no anomalies found. The examination concluded the heavy feel on the elevator was the result of the near full forward CG and the specific flap configuration.
