← TechnologyWhich consequence results when an aircraft's fly-by-wire system experiences a single point actuator failure during final approach?
A)Uncommanded control surface deflection✓
B)Complete loss of electrical power
C)Engine flameout on affected side
D)Cabin depressurization onset rapidly
💡 Explanation
Uncommanded deflection will occur because the servovalve `jamming` mechanism prevents appropriate control surface input. This results in asymmetrical lift forces, therefore compromising stability and control near touchdown, rather than causing total system failure.
