## Discrepancy

AFTER LANDING, AILERONS POSITIONED 3 UNITS OF TRIM TO LT. AILERON TRIM SWITCHES ARE INTERMITTENT AS OCCASIONALLY THE AILERONS MOVE AFTER TRIM SWITCHES ARE RELEASED.  FLT TAXIED TO THE GATE. MX R/R`D THE AILERON TRIM ACTUATOR PER MM 27-11-54. OPS CHECK GOOD.  ALSO, R/R`D THE AILERON/RUDDER TRIM CONTROL MODULE P8-43, AS PRECAUTIONARY, PER MM 27-11-94.  OPS CHECK GOOD.
