During an aircraft descent, which consequence results when the elevator trim 'runaway' initiates uncommanded movement?

A)Oscillatory pitch instability develops
B)Fuel consumption increases significantly
C)Engine power immediately shuts down
D)Navigation system data becomes corrupted

💡 Explanation

Oscillatory pitch instability develops because elevator trim runaway forces continuous pitch corrections; The PIO (Pilot Induced Oscillation) effect emerges involving coupling with pilot actions, rather than steady-state deviation or system failures, therefore instability is created.
