Narrative:

We were on the localizer back course approach; at approximately 12 miles from the airport we had the airport in sight and continued it as a visual approach. Around 5 miles from the airport; the captain; who was pilot flying; disconnected the autopilot. Soon after disconnecting the autopilot; he stated that the ailerons were extremely stiff and difficult to manipulate. Shortly after that we continued to land. I advised ATC and we landed without incident.
