## Discrepancy

PILOT NOTED THAT ON APPROACHES WITH THE AUTOPILOT DISENGAGED, THE ELEVATOR CONTROLS WOULD CATCH WHEN SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE.  THE SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE NEEDED TO BREAK IT LOOSE WOULD CAUSE THE AIRCRAFT TO PORPOISE A FEW TIMES.  SUSPECT INTERNAL PROBLEMS IN THE SERVO MOUNT ASSY.
