The only way to disable the automatic YAW damper is to pull the circuit
breaker.

Ever heard of a fugoid? This is an F-4 related question, so don't blow
it.

What does a tendency to manually over control in pitch have tp do with
yaw?

Nope, go look it up.


No, YOU go look it up. Use F-4 as you suggested. You will find that fugoid
refers to a pilot's unintenional over control in pitch. You will also find that
this can lead to PIO.

Back to the subject at hand the yaw damper is used on big airplanes like the
KC-135 to reduce dutch rolls. It has nothing to do with coordinated turns.
Those har handled either manually or with AFCS.

Have a nice day.
