Quoting N353SK (Reply 1): Yaw Damp inop maybe? |
Quoting Acey559 (Reply 4): I wonder if it's an Embraer problem? |
Quoting Acey559 (Reply 4): I fly the -145 and on a perfectly calm day/night, the plane will constantly rock back and forth like it's incapable of flying straight and level. I've asked numerous captains why it always rocks and they say it's just what it does, nobody really knows why exactly. |
Quoting N243NW (Reply 3): If I'm not mistaken, most modern jets are unable to dispatch without a functioning yaw damper, since it combats Dutch roll. I would consider this unlikely for your particular flight. |
Quoting GoBoeing (Reply 5): |
Quoting contrails15 (Reply 13): I'll leave it at this... There is a reason why we nicknamed the E190 the 180. |

I've never flown on one though so it's just guessing. |
Quoting voar (Reply 16): Don't judge an airplane by one or two flights as a passenger.... I'll believe the pilots who fly the airplane everyday first and they few who have given their input seem to agree it flies just like every other jet around. |
Quoting seabosdca (Reply 19): Plenty of time in the cabin of the 190 (and other E-jets), and I've never noticed anything out of the ordinary. The aircraft on which I notice the most instability around the yaw axis is the A319. |
Quoting DashTrash (Reply 18): I've ridden jumpseat in the Junglebus and never felt any yawing. Riding in the last couple of rows is a different story however. It yaws pretty good in turbulence. |

I've also heard murmurs from older forum posts where members have had pretty uncomfortable experiences in the back of a 190.

I'm pretty sure that's impossible because the Yaw Damper needs to be operable for the autopilot to work.
