An American Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration N952AA performing flight
AA-2597 from Dallas Ft. Worth,TX to Burbank,CA (USA) with 178 people on board, was climbing out of Dallas' runway 17R when upon contacting departure the crew requested to level off at 8000 feet due to a problem. Subsequently crew declared PAN PAN PAN reporting they had a trim problem, the crew queried whether runway 18R would be the longest available with 18L being shortened, which departure confirmed. The crew requested emergency services to be on standby for a brakes check after overweight landing (4 hours of fuel remaining), they would vacate the runway and stop off the runway for the brakes check, they are probably going to need the full length of the runway and would vacate at the last exit. The crew requested vectors straight out of the runway in case of a missed approach due to a pretty aggressive turn in the published missed approach procedure. The aircraft positioned for the approach to runway 18R, landed safely and vacated left onto the last exit.
The flight was cancelled.
The aircraft returned to service about 36 hours after landing.
