← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when an aircraft's automatic landing system (ALS) experiences sudden electromagnetic interference during the flare?
A)Hard landing or ground loop✓
B)Engines switch to full thrust
C)Spoilers automatically fully retract
D)Autopilot commands go-around immediately
💡 Explanation
A hard landing occurs because the electromagnetic interference disrupts the ALS's ability to accurately control the aircraft's descent rate via radio altimeters. Therefore, the aircraft impacts the runway with excessive force, rather than achieving a smooth touchdown under ideal conditions.
