Probable cause
The loss of aileron trim due to the lack of separation between the cannon head on the back of autopilot cannon plug and the aileron trim tab control gear. Contributing to the incident was the lack of guidance in the airplane maintenance manual to verify separation of the autopilot control head and aileron trim tab control gear before completing work on the control pedestal.
