← TechnologyWhich consequence results when an aircraft's automatic landing system's flare control experiences delayed altitude readings?
A)Hard landing with structural stress✓
B)Unintentional early deployment of spoilers
C)Runway excursion due to floating
D)Engine over-speed and compressor stall
💡 Explanation
A hard landing occurs because with altitude misreporting, the autoland system misjudges height above ground, and fails to properly execute the flare maneuver resulting in a high vertical speed touchdown. Therefore, substantial structural stress happens, rather than a controlled touchdown altitude.
