i was saying that during automatic approaches the rudder servo (not the yaw damper and not the trim)
Thanks for the clarification , Denti

"If the aircraft is so bendy that you can't stop the entire length wagging at the same time, I for one would like to see it made out of cast iron,.."

The BAC111 would probably do the same thing if it was 4 times as long. I'm curious to know if you were flying a stretched 777.

I guess you have to have some tradeoffs for weight, but on the other hand, flex can help to cushion the ride (and if you compare an aircraft with a willow tree, flexing can sometimes be better than sudden failure).

Cheers.
