← TechnologyWhich risk increases when hydraulic fluid lines experience aeration within an aircraft's flight control system?
A)Reduced actuator responsiveness occurs✓
B)Increased structural icing is detected
C)Elevated fuel consumption appears
D)Amplified radio frequency interference
💡 Explanation
Aeration introduces compressible gases, leading to a spongy feel and time delay due to fluid volume changes; this is 'hydraulic lock'. Because the pressure is used to precisely move control surfaces, this causes severely reduces actuator responsiveness, therefore compromising aircraft controls rather than other issues.
