← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a cargo aircraft's landing gear asymmetry creates excessive drag?
A)Uncommanded yaw and potential veer✓
B)Increased stall speed and buffeting
C)Reduced aileron effectiveness near stall
D)Elevator control reversal at high speed
💡 Explanation
Unmatched drag forces from asymmetric gear extension cause a yawing moment; this is due to adverse yaw; because the roll control causes change in the relative wind, adverse yaw result. Therefore uncommanded yaw; rather than changes stall or elevator function influencing it more directly.
