## Discrepancy

AT FL240 THE PITCH TRIM WAS JAMMED AT THE 0* SETTING & THE CONTROLS REQUIRED A NOTICEABLE BUT NOT EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FWD PRESS TO MAINTAIN LEVEL FLIGHT.  CREW LEFT THE PITCH TRIM IN CURRENT POSITION & LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE ELEC PITCH TRIM WAS PREVIOUSLY DEFERRED & CURRENTLY ON MEL.  PURGED ALL THE OLD GREASE WITH NEW FROM BOTH PITCH TRIM ACTUATORS.  PITCH TRIM GND OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.  A SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS PERFORMED.  ACFT WAS RTS.
