Why are dampers an essential element in FBW inceptors?
1) Control aircraft stability by damping forces
2) Acts as a low pass filter on the stick movement
3) Provides accurate deflections
4) To prevent aircraft to carry out critical maneuvers

Answer: Acts as a low pass filter on the stick movement
Explanation: Without the damper, the stick would be considerably under damped because of the low friction in the mechanism and the significant mass of the hand grip. It provides a smooth feel to the stick movement; the spring–mass–damper combination acting as a low pass filter on the stick movement. These characteristics are carefully tailored to meet the consensus of pilot approval.
