## Discrepancy

DURING FLAIR ON LANDING AND AT GATE, ELEVATOR MOVEMENT FOR ELEVATOR 'UP' (YOKE BACK) WAS VERY STIFF.  BETTER WITH ONLY LEFT SYS POWERED.

PERFORMED ELEVATOR FEEL SYSTEM FORCES TEST BMM 27-31-00 EXCEPT STEP S725-140 (7) A-K DUE TO INABILITY TO CHECK BOTH PITOT SYS'S AT ONCE.  FOUND FROZEN BEARING IN ELEVATOR FEEL AND CENTERING UNIT. INSPECTED, LUBED AND FREED UP FROZEN BEARING.  PERFORMED OPS CHECK OF ELEVATOR FEEL SYSTEM FORCES PER BMM 27-31-00 WITH EXCEPTION TO S725-140 A-K.  SYSTEM OPS CHECK GOOD.
