← TechnologyWhich instability grows when flight control system latency nears resonant frequency?
A)Pilot-induced oscillation happens quickly✓
B)Elevator authority becomes too sensitive
C)Flutter speed is significantly reduced
D)Fuel consumption undergoes wild variation
💡 Explanation
Pilot-induced oscillation appears when control latency excites natural aircraft frequencies via **closed-loop feedback**. This feedback causes amplification, because the slight delays introduce phase shifts, therefore oscillations start faster, rather than control surfaces simply being ineffective or flutter speed shifting.
