← TechnologyWhich destabilizing pitching moment worsens when an airliner's elevator trim fails?
A)Dutch roll aerodynamic instability
B)Adverse yaw dynamic instability
C)Stick-free static instability✓
D)Phugoid mode oscillation
💡 Explanation
Stick-free static instability increases because a failed elevator trim causes the control column to have zero effective hinge moment; therefore, small changes provoke large aircraft pitch changes, rather than the pilot overcoming trim forces.
