← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a jet aircraft's elevator-trim-tab servo motor fails?
A)Runaway force on the control✓
B)Decreased engine thrust output
C)Autopilot computer malfunctions occur
D)Uncommanded flap deployment begins
💡 Explanation
Loss of control loading occurs because the elevator trim utilizes a servo motor; its failure could cause a *servomechanism runaway*, resulting in amplified and uncommanded control-surface inputs; therefore, a hazardous over-control results, rather than any engine or autopilot failure.
