Series Yaw Dampers!

[Ya Hizir]

Hi again! I have no clue what a series yaw damper is?

any idea?

A series yaw damper is connected to the rudder control unit and when in operation, it moves the the rudder, with out moving the pilots rudder pedals.
This type is used in all modern jet aircraft.
The other type of yaw damper is a parallel yaw damper. This type moves the rudder through the same control run as the pilot, resulting in the pilots rudder pedals being deflected when it's operating.

Good answer

I don't have a problem with these questions here, but Ya Hizir FYI you may find Tech Log a huge source of amazing detail and information.

the yaw damper helps remove the effects of dutch roll prevelant in swept wing aircraft.....

The parallel damper needs to be turned off prior landing too,
