Which consequence results when an aircraft's aileron control cable jams near the wingtip, preventing aileron deflection?

A)Reduced roll control authority remains
B)Unintended yaw during roll initiation
C)Complete lift loss on affected wing
D)Elevated stall speed on both wings

💡 Explanation

Unintended yaw occurs due to asymmetric drag. When the cable jams, the intended differential lift for roll cannot be generated; *adverse yaw* manifests because the descending wing produces more drag than the ascending wing, therefore causing the aircraft to yaw rather than purely roll.
