## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB & AT CONSTANT AIRSPEED, NOTICED ELEVATOR CONTROL STICKING.  STICKING FELT WORSE AS WE INCREASED ALTITUDE UP TO CRUISE AT FL 250.  STICKING CONSISTENT BETWEEN BOTH PILOTS & AUTO PILOT ON & OFF, STICKING LASTED THROUGHOUT CRUISE.  AIR TEMP -31 DEGREES.  STICKING DIMINISHED AS WE STARTED OUR DECENT.  STICKING NOT NOTICEABLE BELOW 11,000 FEET.  TEMPS STILL BELOW FREEZING.  STICKING FEELING WAS SIMILAR TO THRUST LEVERS WITH FRICTION LOCK ADJUSTED TO TIGHT.
