SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the A/P yaw damper system, specifically its operation and electrical schematics. Participants recommend consulting "Avionics Fundamentals" by Jeppesen Sanderson Training Products for a block diagram on page 292. The conversation highlights the importance of negative feedback servo systems, which connect the autopilot to the gyrocompass for rudder adjustments based on heading deviations. For specific circuit information, contacting manufacturers like Sperry Rand is advised.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of A/P yaw damper systems
  • Familiarity with negative feedback servo systems
  • Knowledge of autopilot and attitude control mechanisms
  • Basic electrical engineering concepts related to circuit design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "negative feedback servo systems" for deeper insights
  • Explore the block diagram in "Avionics Fundamentals" by Jeppesen Sanderson
  • Investigate autopilot systems and their integration with gyrocompasses
  • Contact manufacturers like Sperry Rand for specific circuit schematics
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, avionics technicians, and anyone involved in the design or maintenance of autopilot systems will benefit from this discussion.

Hi everyone,
I want to know if anyone has informating about A/P yaw damper system. How does it work? and give me some pic with dawing the system, electrical "I mean." but if you can give me the electric servo yaw damper. you can find the Block diagram in book call "Avionics fundamentals" which made for Jeppesen sanderson Training Products. exactly you can find in page 292.

Thanks a million

I have some stuff from Jeppesen, but not your reference.

I suggest you just look up negative feedback servo systems.
In this case the autopilot is likely hooked up to the gyrocompass and corrects rudder placement based on heading deviation. A more advanced system might use Loran or GPS to the same effect.
 
Thanks No Time, But I need the circut in electric device and explain by electirc way. Where can I get it?

Put the phrase
"negative feedback servo system" in google
Wade through results, should be something similar.

If you want the exact circuit, contact the manufacture with the model number.
 
Ok I will see if they could help me. Thx No Time
 
Do you know something webside for manufacture, they can help me?
 
I'd start with Sperry Rand, just since they were the biggest manufacturer of autopilots when I was flying. Don't know about current stuff.
