← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a heavy landing reduces the efficiency of aircraft landing gear?
A)Ratcheting within the recoil damper✓
B)Increased parasitic drag during flight
C)Weakened wing spar fatigue life
D)Elevated cabin pressure oscillations
💡 Explanation
When a heavy landing exceeds the damper's capacity, ratcheting occurs in the recoil damper because the progressive resistance isn't enough to absorb the impact, therefore damaging the mechanism; rather than causing drag or affecting cabin.
