← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when an aircraft's stability augmentation system (SAS) excessively counteracts pilot input?
A)Induced oscillations and disorientation✓
B)Increased aerodynamic control authority
C)Reduced structural stress on wings
D)Improved fuel consumption efficiency
💡 Explanation
Induced pilot-induced oscillation happens because the SAS creates control SURFACE MOVEMENTS contradicting the PILOT INPUT. This causes the aircraft to oscillate, therefore the pilot may fight the system, rather than gaining better control or stability.
