Which issue arises if an aircraft's flight controls experience excessive free play?

💡 Explanation

Pilot-induced oscillations (PIO) will be exacerbated because excessive hinge moment free play delays control surface response to pilot input from the control stick, making smooth, coordinated maneuvers difficult, therefore causing unintended overcorrections, rather than predictable and dampened responses.
