← TechnologyDuring an aircraft descent, which consequence results when the elevator trim 'runaway' initiates uncommanded movement?
A)Oscillatory pitch instability develops✓
B)Fuel consumption increases significantly
C)Engine power immediately shuts down
D)Navigation system data becomes corrupted
💡 Explanation
Oscillatory pitch instability develops because elevator trim runaway forces continuous pitch corrections; The PIO (Pilot Induced Oscillation) effect emerges involving coupling with pilot actions, rather than steady-state deviation or system failures, therefore instability is created.
