Narrative:
A Malev Hungarian Airlines Boeing 737-600, registration HA-LOE, experienced a yaw event at about 95 knots and aborted the takeoff from Budapest International Airport (LHBP), Hungary.

Causes of the occurrence
The IC has come to a conclusion that the occurrence was most likely caused by a wake turbulence from another B737 aircraft that took off from the same runway 1 minutes and 50 seconds prior to the occurrence aircraft. The yaw-damper,
responded to the turbulence, made quick consecutive movements to end stop positions. The pilots successfully controlled the airplane through the jolt using rudder pedals, but decided to abort the take-off because of the unexpected acceleration of unknown origin.
