← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when an aircraft's automatic stabilizer abruptly disengages during landing approach due to unexpected wind shear?
A)Pilot induced oscillation escalates rapidly✓
B)Engine flameout risk is significantly lowered
C)Fuel consumption decreases noticeably afterwards
D)Flaps automatically retract preventing stalls
💡 Explanation
Pilot induced oscillation quickly worsens because the abrupt stabilizer loss prevents *damping*. Pilots tend to overcompensate rapidly, therefore oscillations get amplified rather than naturally mitigated because there is a lack of dampening authority.
