← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a retractable aircraft landing gear system experiences hydraulic pump cavitation?
A)Reduced braking effectiveness occurs
B)Delayed gear extension happens✓
C)Increased structural icing is promoted
D)Fuel consumption rate increases
💡 Explanation
Delayed gear extension results because vapor bubbles formed during cavitation collapse and disrupt the hydraulic fluid pressure needed to actuate the landing gear's extension mechanism. Therefore, incomplete or slow deployment occurs, rather than direct loss of braking or icing issues.
