← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a commercial aircraft attempts landing with significant ice accumulation?
A)Uncommanded spoiler deployment ensues
B)Elevator control surface locks
C)Aircraft stalls at higher speeds✓
D)Engine flameout probability increases
💡 Explanation
Icing increases stall speed due to the ice disrupting airflow; the **separation bubble** mechanism sharply reduces lift, because boundary layer turbulence increases, therefore stall occurs earlier and at a higher speed, rather than laminar flow aiding lift.
