← TechnologyWhich dangerous outcome occurs when spoilers jam partially retracted during landing?
A)Reduced lift and roll control✓
B)Engine flameout due to vortex
C)Catastrophic landing gear failure
D)Rudder reversal, loss of yaw
💡 Explanation
When spoilers jam, asymmetric lift and drag result because the reduction in lift on the affected wing causes a roll. This impairs consistent roll control during the crucial landing phase. Therefore, control difficulties result rather than engine failure or landing gear overload.
