## Discrepancy

DURING TAXI NW TILLER WHEN MOVED PAST 180 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT IS EXTEMLY DIFFICULT TO TURN. WHEN MOVED PAST 270 DEGREES A DISTINCT RELEASE IS FELT. NOTE DURING FLIGHT WE NEVER MADE A LEFT HAND TURN.

STEERING OPERATES NORMAL WITH NO BINDING AND VERY SMOOTH, IAW AMM 32-51-00. A/C OK FOR SERVICE.
