## Discrepancy

DESCENDING THROUGH 18,000 FT, RECEIVED A PITCH MIS TRIM ANNUNCIATOR.  ATTEMPTED TO HELP THE AUTOPILOT BY TRYING TO TRIM THE NOSE UP.  DISCOVERED THAT THE PITCH WHEEL WAS FROZEN IN A VERY NOSE DOWN POSITION.  AT 13,000 FT USED EXTREME FORCE TO MOVE THE PITCH WHEEL ENOUGH TO LAND.  ITEM IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.
