## Discrepancy

FLT 1735 - BNA-FWA - THE CREW REPORTED THAT THE AIRPLANE VIBRATES AND TE CONTROL WHEEL HARD TO TURN AS IF MAYBE A FLIGHT CONTROL IS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT.  IT TAKES TWO UNITS OF RUDDER TRIM TO STRAIGHTEN THE PLANE IN LEVEL FLIGHT.  THE AIRCRAFT MADE A SAFE LANDING IN FWA.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND OPERATED ALL FLIGHT CONTROLS.  NO DEFECTS NOTED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
