Yaw damper indicator

On many aircraft equipped with a yaw damping system the operation of the yaw damper is
indicated on the EADI in conjunction with the rate of turn indicator. This receives a signal from
the yaw rate gyro. Whenever the gyro precesses, the signal causes the rate of turn indicator to
move away from its neutral position. Rudder movement is displayed on a control position
indicator. Pilot operation of the rudder is by direct linkage to the main rudder actuator and is
therefore independent of the yaw damping system. Rudder movements commanded by the yaw
damping system are not transmitted back to the rudder pedals.
