## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT FEELS EXTREMELY STIFF IN ROLLING TO RIGHT.  REQUIRES 3+ UNITS OF AILERON TRIM TO FLY STRAIGHT AND LEVEL.  INSPECTED AILERON TRIM SYSTEM IAW EMB MM 27-12.  ALSO INSPECTED AILERON CONTROL SYSTEM PER EMB MM 27-11.  ALL CHECKS AND TESTS FOUND AILERON CONTROL AND TRIM SYSTEM TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY.  NO DEFECTS FOUND.
