Which consequence results when the landing gear's strut oleo seal fails during a high-sink-rate aircraft landing?

A)Reduced impact energy absorption
B)Increased structural oscillations
C)Delayed braking effectiveness onset
D)Elevated tire burst probability

💡 Explanation

Reduced impact energy absorption occurs because the damaged oleo seal leaks hydraulic fluid; this prevents the strut from providing optimal damping via **fluid displacement** and restricting gas pressure increase, therefore more impact force is transferred to the airframe, rather than absorbed by the strut's cushioning.
