WRT John W's post. He's just risen 'another' notch in my view when he corrected himself wrt the yaw damper providing assistance in turns. BTW, I watched from the jumpseat this morning on the approach into ICN (Incheon, Korea). The yaw damper didn't do too good a job of coordinating turns -- saw a consistent half-ball slip in the turns after established in the angle of bank. Ball went back to center when wings were level. BTW, I use the term "ball" here because virtually every pilot understands the term in context. The 744 has an electronic slip indicator that we often refer to the "sailboat" since it is a white oblong slip indicator under a white bank angle pointer triangle on the Primary Flight Display. |
