Which consequence results when a heavy landing reduces the efficiency of aircraft landing gear?

💡 Explanation

When a heavy landing exceeds the damper's capacity, ratcheting occurs in the recoil damper because the progressive resistance isn't enough to absorb the impact, therefore damaging the mechanism; rather than causing drag or affecting cabin.
