The Yaw Damper may be turned on by placing the Yaw Damper switch to ON. Hydraulic power must be available and the "B" flight control switch ON. Two seconds after the yaw damper is ON the YAW DAMPER light extinguishes. The engagement is monitored by a power monitor circuit in the AFC accessory unit (or IFSAU). If ac power is lost for over 2 seconds, the YAW DAMPER light illuminates and the Yaw Damper switch returns to OFF.
(2)
The yaw rate gyro senses oscillations in the yaw axis. The signal is filtered, programmed by the ADC for changes in speed, and amplified. It is then applied to the transfer valve. The transfer valve ports hydraulic pressure to move the Yaw Damper actuator. The Yaw Damper actuator output is summed with rudder pedal input to move the main actuator which controls the rudder, but there is no mechanical feedback to move the rudder pedals.
(3)
As the Yaw Damper actuator moves, the LVDT supplies the feedback signal to cancel the signal from the yaw rate gyro. When the oscillation stops, the feedback signal returns the rudder to the original position. The feedback signal is also applied to the position indicator; however, during normal operation, the signals are of insufficient value to be monitored by the position indicator.

AIRPLANES WITH THE IFSAU; The connections between the IFSAU, the Yaw Damper coupler and the TE flap up limit switch supplies these benefits:
(a)
The yaw rate gain will increase 29% during the flaps down conditions to decrease the dutch roll step.
(b)
The Yaw Damper high frequency gain will reduce 50% to decrease the 8 Hz structural vibration.
(c)
These changes supply better airplane performance and passenger comfort.
B. Operating Modes_______________
(1)
General
(a) The Yaw Damper system provides damping of movement about the airplane's yaw axis by shaping, amplifying, and coupling rate gyro and Yaw Damper actuator position signals to control the rudder through the hydraulic actuator. Yaw Damper operation is confined to synchronization mode, engaged mode interlocks and logic, and engaged mode operation. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址:737-300 400 500 AMM 飞机维护手册 自动飞行 AUTOFLIGHT 2(69)
