Which consequence results when a turbine-powered aircraft experiences icing with reduced airflow?

💡 Explanation

Stall and flameout follow ice accretion because the decreased airflow causes insufficient pressure rise across the compressor. This triggers aerodynamic instability – compressor stall – ultimately leading to a flameout; therefore A, rather than increased creep (B) or fuel demand (C).
