Technology

Which consequence commonly results from insufficient lubrication during aircraft landing gear retraction?

A)Elevated hydraulic system temperature
B)Rapid gear component corrosion
C)Reduced braking effectiveness immediately after
D)Increased aerodynamic drag while retracted

💡 Explanation

Elevated hydraulic temperatures often occur when landing gear retraction mechanisms have insufficient lubrication; the increased friction creates heat in the hydraulic system, because the landing gear's components experience resistance requiring higher fluid force to actuate; therefore elevated temperature, rather than corrosion, drag, or braking issues.
