← TechnologyWhat failure results when an aircraft's stall strip accumulates excessive ice?
A)Reduced aileron effectiveness at low speed✓
B)Induced turbulent flow over the wing
C)Decreased pitch control surface authority
D)Uncommanded spoiler panel deployment occurs
💡 Explanation
The stall strip trips airflow, causing early separation above the ailerons; excessive ice alters its geometry. Therefore, aileron effectiveness decreases first, because the stall happens earlier than intended leading to reduced control, rather than directly causing turbulence or other control failures.
