## Discrepancy

ON 2 MILE FINAL, DISCONNECTED THE A/P AND IT DISENGAGED.  HAD ROLL CONTROL, BUT PITCH CONTROL WAS STUCK.  PRESSED AP DISCONNECT AGAIN, PITCH CONTROL REMAINED STUCK.  PUSHED/PULLED ON CONTROL YOKE AND PITCH CONTROL POPPED FREE.  STAB CHANNEL 1 INOP MESSAGE APPEARED. AFTER POPPING FREE, PITCH CONTROL FELT NORMAL.  NO BINDING OR HEAVY FEELINGS NOTED.  LANDED NORMALLY. DID NOT USE PITCH DISCONNECT.    ***AIRCRAFT REMOVED FROM SERVICE***   R&R ELEVATOR SERVO IAW AMM 22-11. OPS CHECKS GOOD AT THIS TIME.
