Someone’s been reading the news and doing background research.
Forewarned is forearmed. I figured I’d save a couple people 2.3 seconds if I threw this up here. Also, it wiggles. Look at that yaw!
Explain? Is this article just about banking a turn? Or…
Recently, a boeing 737 max had an issue where it started dutch rolling in flight. The plane landed safely, but the FAA is investigating.
The dutch roll is an osculating motion that can happen in flight, and can be dangerous if not counteracted. Commercial airliners have a yaw damper which should prevent this from occurring, but something must have gone wrong because it did.
Oh wow. Thanks.
Also causing structural damage to the 737 Max in the process. Interested to hear how many bolts were left out of the yaw damper once the FAA incident report comes out.
Working gifs in a link preview? Never seen that before
I prefer Dutch Crunch for rolls.

I know some of those words.
So what’s been happening in the skies?
Yaw damper is on MEL, deal with it
