Which 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.
