A Transavia Boeing 737-800, registration PH-HXI performing flight
HV-5517 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Pafos (Cyprus), was climbing out of Amsterdam's runway 18L when the crew requested to stop the climb to work on an issue, the aircraft levelled off at FL080. Subsequently the crew advised they wanted to climb in steps and requested FL100 and further to FL130, but then declared PAN PAN reporting a flight control problem, something wasn't right with the inputs on rotation already, subsequently the problm disappeared on autopilot, but they were seeing also other issues. The crew requested runway 18C and a slow descent, they weren't able to predict what would happen even though at that time (on autopilot) they were flying okay. The aircraft landed on runway 18C about 35 minutes after departure and taxied to the apron.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Amsterdam about 22 hours after landing back.
