← TechnologyWhich consequence results when an aircraft's elevator control servo jams during flight?
A)Uncommanded pitch axis divergence✓
B)Rudder effectiveness temporarily increases
C)Aileron reversal becomes more likely
D)Engine thrust automatically increases
💡 Explanation
Un-commanded pitch axis divergence occurs, because the elevator controls the aircraft's pitch, and a jam prevents correction; resulting oscillations amplify via positive feedback, therefore instability results, rather than changes in other control surfaces or engine output.
