← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a commercial aircraft loses hydraulic control?
A)Uncontrolled flight surface deflections✓
B)Engine flameout and power loss
C)Fuel tank rupture and leak
D)Cabin depressurization and hypoxia
💡 Explanation
The loss of hydraulic control causes uncontrolled flight surface deflections because hydraulic systems actuate control surfaces. This leads to erratic movements due to lack of pilot input via the actuation mechanism; therefore, aircraft deviates from its intended path, rather than the failures of fuel or cabin systems.
