Heard a pilot on the ramp talking about a weird vibration that only showed up above 10,000 feet

He was telling his copilot it felt like a 'fast shimmy' in the pedals, not the yoke. Made me double-check my own work on a Cessna's rudder cables this afternoon, even though my sign-off was clean. Anyone else get that little voice telling you to go back and look at something one more time?

Honestly that little voice is just fear talking. Sometimes a weird vibration is just a weird vibration, not a missed logbook entry. Jordan108 has a point about airspeed, could be something simple like a trim thing.

Did they say if the vibration changed with airspeed, or just with altitude? That's a weird one.

That's the kind of story that makes you triple-check your own logbook entries.
