A yaw damper (sometimes referred to as a stability augmentation system) is a system used to reduce (or damp) the undesirable tendency of an aircraft to oscillate in a repetitive rolling and yawing motion, a phenomenon known as the Dutch roll. A large number of modern aircraft, both jet-powered and propeller-driven, have been furnished with such systems.
