Stick Pusher valve stuck open? Its happened before?.
At a light to moderate weight, a GIV will takeoff from an airport like BED with flaps 0 without any problem. Except for the THREE CHIMES blaring away and the red CONFIG WARNING CAS message on the display unit. There is actually a ferry permit procedure available to move the airplane with flaps 0.
Although I am loathe to second guess a crew or speculate on a cause, the only things I can think of given the circumstances are a control lock not fully disengaged, a jammed elevator, or runaway full nose down trim combined with a CG near the forward limit. Gulfstreams can be nose-heavy, especially if equipped with a forward galley.
