Embraer E-Jet series Yaw Damper
Hi all,
I have some questions regarding the Embraer 170/190 series aircraft, in particular the Yaw Damper.
I have noted that the aircraft has a Yaw Damper push-button on the Flight control panel (FCP).
Does that mean that the Yaw Damper must not be engaged for take off and landing?
Also, is this type of yaw damper coupled in such a way that when it's engaged, the rudder pedals are locked out, or do they operate normally despite yaw damper engagement?
I have operated several jet aircraft, some where the yaw damper is something that you engage during pre-flight until power down. In others it's engaged, and disengaged with the autopilot, meaning its prohibited on landing.
Thanks
