It occurs to me that they might want to check the aileron rigging.
If both ailerons were "drooped", it would reduce the washout.

I believe you have it backwards. Droop decreases overall AOA, and acts
as
washout, right?

I don't think so. I'm using "droop" here to indicate that the trailing
edges are lower than normal.
If it's lower in back, the AOA should be larger, and the washout less.
If they were both _reflexed_, it would be higher on the trailing edge, and
increase the washout.

Right. I had to do some hand flying to get that figured! g
