Incident happened on departure from BFS. Initially they couldn't pitch forward, and declared an Emergency on the Tower frequency. Transferred to a discreet frequency, and bust their cleared level.
Eventually levelled-off at approx. 11,000 feet, and then descended, and couldn't level-off until approx. FL075!
The crew expressed their concern that this was similar to another incident recently on another -145 from another operator.
Whilst I don't doubt that the crew did a good job, I was wondering whether their decision to continue all the way to MAN was a sound one. With a control difficulty such as that, I would have thought that Land ASAP would have been the better decision. They seemed to have regained sufficient control whilst still over N. Ireland.
