Narrative:
The captain (ca) was the pilot flying (PF) and described an abnormal feel of aileron movement while airborne. Ca briefly gave control to me to confirm; which felt like a partial binding in the system when the yoke was moved from center to about 1/4 deflection right bank position.past that area and left deflection felt normal. The abnormal [feel] was not a roll jam as roll control was fully possible; and the QRH had no applicable procedures. Ca made contact with dispatch and maintenance and the decision was made to continue the flight. ATC [was advised] as a precaution because we were unsure of the cause of the abnormal feel; and whether it would worsen with speed/altitude/configuration changes during approach and landing. The approach and landing were uneventful and the abnormal feel was not present on the ground with no air loading on the flight control surfaces.
