← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a tailplane stall occurs at low altitude?
A)Limited elevator control authority✓
B)Increased induced drag on wings
C)Reduced engine combustion efficiency
D)Erroneous airspeed indication values
💡 Explanation
When the tailplane stalls aggressively, the horizontal stabilizer experiences boundary layer separation causing a loss of lift and therefore diminished elevator control authority; rather than increased drag because control responsiveness is the prime hazard not simple drag.
