## Discrepancy

TURNS TO THE RT, MORE PRONOUNCED AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 300 KTS, AN APPARENT PERCEIVED BIND IN THE YOKE.  THEN LET’S GO & YOKE WILL THEN MOVE.  ALSO NOTICED THIS WITH AUTOPILOT ENGAGED.  PLAY IN THE YOKE, CAPTAINS SIDE.  PERFORMED DETAILED VISUAL INSPECTION OF AILERON SYS.  COMPLETED AILERON ADJUSTMENT & TEST.  NO ADJUSTMENTS MADE, ALL CHECKED GOOD.  OK FOR SERVICE.
