## Discrepancy

TRIM WHEEL VERY DIFFICULT TO TRIM MANUALLY.  WHEN TRIMMING WITH ELECTRIC TRIM IT STOPS/BINDS FOR A MOMENT APPROX EVERY INCH OF ROTATION.  WHEN IN AUTOPILOT IT DID NOT KICK OFF THE AUTOPILOT.  TRIM BINDING WAS THE SAME AT ALL ALTITUDES, AIRSPEEDS, AND FLAP CONFIGURATIONS. ELEVATOR ACTUATOR FAILED. REMOVED AND REPLACED.
