> I fly an SR22, which has a yaw damper. It's not strictly necessary
The SR22 is a straight wing aircraft, not a swept wing one. "Some aircraft, such as the Boeing 727 and Vickers VC10 airliners, are fitted with multiple yaw damper systems due to their operation having been deemed critical to flight safety.[1][4]"

There have been crashes due to failure of the yaw damper and the pilot being unable to control the resulting instability.

We should get rid of jet airliners entirely. The whole point of jetliners was to reduce operating costs. People have died because of many flaws in jetliners. Should have just stuck to the DC-3.
