FlexJet E545 loses Flight Controls..twice

N413FX, an EMB Legacy 450 temporarily lost flight controls departing TEB on 22 and 24 July. Flight Aware shows the jet still at TEB.
The video covers the most recent incident first, then backs up 2 days to cover the original incident.

They traced it to the landing gear--the software thought the plane was still on the ground. It sounds like the struts didn't fully extend after takeoff, but they're still investigating how/why. Given that, dunno how they got the gear up in the first place, but they did.
