Which consequence results when a plane's slat system freezes?

💡 Explanation

When slats are frozen, the wing's leading-edge high lift properties are reduced because boundary layer separation increases triggering premature stall stall rather significantly. This is due to reduced lift, therefore elevated stall speed manifests, rather than other failure modes.
