Constant swaying
-
Hi folks,
The aircraft constantly sways left to right in flight with turbulence effects on low and yaw damper engaged. Is there a reason for that and anything I can do to stop it?
Cheers,

Basically, ensure that both yaw dampers are ON. Don’t use rudder to try and stop the yawing.
If severe ‘Dutch rolling’ encounter, the correct action is to use a quick (one-off) application of roll control into the rising wing. Keep feet off rudder pedals to avoid inputs that will promote the rolling.
146-100 with no yaw damper has a speed limit of 230 kts and not above 25,000 ft. You can stay above 25,000 ft if failure occurs when above and no Dutch rolling.
146-200 with no yaw damper has a speed limit of 240 kts, no altitude restriction.
146-300, no limit on speed/altitude. -
The yawing issue under certain flight conditions is something we have logged on our internal bugs tracker and is something we have implemented fixes for in our upcoming RJ Professional. This will be one of the many improvements we plan to back-port to the 146 after the RJ release.

That's excellent Mark, thank you. Great answer above and noted, but it occurs even at low speeds/alts and with YD on, and the FD sways around with it. Obviously a bug of some kind and great to hear it will be sorted. Looking forward to the RJ a lot.
