Yaw and Pitch Damper Emergency

In an emergency, the dampers can be disengaged by pressing the damper emergency disconnect switch lever on the flight stick, or by moving the yaw-pitch damper switch to OFF. (If the utility hydraulic system fails, the yaw and pitch dampers is inoperative.)

After momentary electrical or hydraulic failure, the yaw and pitch dampers can be restored by resetting the yaw-pitch damper switch to ENGAGE 1–1½ minutes after electrical power has been restored or immediately after utility hydraulic pressure returns to approximately 1,900 psi. If complete electrical or hydraulic failure occurs in the yaw and pitch dampers, the yaw and pitch damper servos recenter automatically and lock mechanically.
