← TechnologyWhile taxiing on a snow-covered runway, which outcome occurs when applying wheel brakes unevenly on an aircraft with conventional landing gear?
A)Induced yaw due to differential friction✓
B)Reduced turning radius approaching threshold
C)Improved stopping distance at taxiing speeds
D)Increased rudder effectiveness maintaining direction
💡 Explanation
Uneven braking engages differential friction, a torque imbalance causing the aircraft to yaw because one side slows more abruptly than the other; therefore the aircraft swerves, rather than achieving straight-line deceleration or improved directional control from the rudder.
