← TechnologyWhich consequence results when significant crosswind occurs during aircraft flare?
A)Adverse yaw exceeds rudder control✓
B)Induced drag rapidly decreases lift
C)Ground effect eliminates wing stall
D)Engine thrust becomes fully inverted
💡 Explanation
Adverse yaw increases when strong crosswind induces asymmetric drag at touchdown; the aircraft rotates because yaw control authority is exceeded, therefore directional drift becomes likely after landing, rather than immediately experiencing drag differences from the ground or spontaneous engine failure.
