A330 Dutch Roll ?

Hi Folks,

I was paxing for the first time on an A330-200 the other day and noticed something odd for the first hour or so of the flight.

The aircraft appeared to be consistantly rolling (and yawing slightly) rythmicly.

I was sitting a few rows aft of the leading edge (close to the C of G i would imagine) and the rolling seemed to be well balanced as the sensation could harly be felt. The only evidence was to look out the window.

I havent noticed this on any other aircraft - IS THIS DUTCH ROLL ??

Is it a problem ?

SHouldnt the yaw damper correct for this ???

.... or was i just imagineing it ?!? (Id had a few drinks the night before !)

Thanks !
