Yaw Damper,

thanks for your input, highly appreciated.

That was the very first thing going through my mind. Why not switch the channels off? I've switched them often enough to know that it takes no effort at all to do that. The question is, is there any way, with an electrical failure, that the yaw channel would not get that message? That is, remain on, even with the switches off?

I am hearing rumours that a automatic control unit (ABSU) suffered a failure of a connector during take off. Does that ring a bell with you or explain something? I don't have my manuals and they are for the M variant anyhow, but I have trouble identifying that unit off memory.

Best regards
