← TechnologyWhich consequence commonly results from insufficient lubrication during aircraft landing gear retraction?
A)Elevated hydraulic system temperature✓
B)Rapid gear component corrosion
C)Reduced braking effectiveness immediately after
D)Increased aerodynamic drag while retracted
💡 Explanation
Elevated hydraulic temperatures often occur when landing gear retraction mechanisms have insufficient lubrication; the increased friction creates heat in the hydraulic system, because the landing gear's components experience resistance requiring higher fluid force to actuate; therefore elevated temperature, rather than corrosion, drag, or braking issues.
