What was found
PILOT REPORTED CYCLIC JERKED LEFT WHILE IN FORWARD FLIGHT AND FELT AS IF TRIM WAS IN FULL LEFT POSITION. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT PERFORMED A FUNCTIONAL CHECK OF TRIM ACTUATORS. CONFIRMED TRIM MOTOR TO BE CORRECTLY CORRESPONDING TO INPUTS MADE TO CYCLIC TRIM SWITCH. AN ELECTRICAL MOTOR ACTIVATION NOISE COULD BE HEARD WHEN THE TRIM SWITCH IS ACTIVATED TO THE FWD, AFT, LEFT AND RIGHT POSITIONS. IT WAS NOTED THAT WHEN ACTUATING THE LATERAL TRIM MOTOR, ALTHOUGH THE ELECTRIC TRIM MOTOR WAS ACTIVATING IT SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS "FREE SPINNING" AND THE CYCLIC WOULD NOT MOVE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN ACTIVATING THE SWITCH. THIS WOULD BE INDICATIVE OF A FAILED MECHANICAL PORTION OF THE TRIM ACTUATOR.
