← TechnologyWhich instability occurs when aircraft elevator effectiveness decreases?
A)Longitudinal static stability loss✓
B)Lateral phugoid mode damping
C)Dutch roll oscillation increase
D)Spiral divergence susceptibility
💡 Explanation
When the elevator's ability to affect pitch diminishes, pitch damping decreases drastically because the static margin effectively moves aft; therefore, longitudinal static stability is lost, rather than lateral modes being directly affected.
