Which consequence results when aircraft landing gear experience thermal expansion during approach?

A)Decreased structural fatigue life
B)Reduced effectiveness of braking
C)Compromised shock absorber performance
D)Erroneous gear-down indication

💡 Explanation

Erroneous gear-down indication is possible because thermal expansion alters the physical dimensions used by the proximity sensors which confirm gear lock; therefore a false signal is sent, rather than mechanical jamming or failure to extend.
