← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a pilot attempts landing with excessive sideslip affecting the landing gear of a fixed-wing aircraft?
A)Increased tire side forces arise✓
B)Reduced vertical load on struts
C)Improved runway tracking abilities
D)Decreased gear structural stress felt
💡 Explanation
Increased tire side forces arise because sideslip during landing causes asymmetric loading due to the weathervaning effect, thereby inducing large lateral forces on the tires. Therefore, dangerous loads occur, rather than stress reductions from proper alignment or vertical landing.
