yaw damper during x winds

[Bruce Waddington]

All,

Miles Majister has it correct.

The Lear 40/45 Flight Controls System Chapter issued by Flight Safety, and based on information obtained from the aircraft manufacturer's Pilot Manuals and Maintenance Manuals, states the following on page 15-10;

"With the yaw damper engaged, the yaw servo generates small automatic rudder inputs to reduce and/or eliminate unwanted yaw oscillations in flight. Though not a specific callout in the crew checklist, the yaw damper should be disengaged prior to landing to eliminate undesired yaw damper feedback."
