I am thankfully in the minority when I say that I spent a memorable 40 mins with totally jammed elevators and trim. I had calm conditions that made things a lot easier, also it was a twin turboprop which gave me very quick power reaction time. The main thing was trying to free the control-run while not heaving on the controls so that they suddenly moved and re-jammed in a kamikaze position. Other than that, the engines gave me a good control over the rate of decent.
When finally the plane was fixed, I found myself over JEY with a frozen throttle. The torque would have gone through the roof on decent, so single engine at night in a blizzard and massive cross-wind.
The strange thing is, it's those kind of days that I miss.
