← TechnologyWhich consequence results when an aircraft's automatic landing system (autoland) experiences uncorrected atmospheric pressure variation?
A)Premature activation of thrust reversers
B)Overestimation of runway remaining distance
C)Undetected tailstrike upon touchdown
D)Inaccurate flare altitude calculation✓
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate flare altitude calculation can occur if atmospheric pressure varies because barometric altimeters rely on pressure; therefore, the aircraft initiates the flare maneuver at an incorrect height, rather than thrust reverser errors or runway length estimates that respond to wheel touchdown or GPS.
