← TechnologyWhich control issue occurs when ice accumulates unevenly on ailerons?
A)Adverse yaw increases abruptly✓
B)Engine thrust uncontrollably oscillates
C)Fuselage skin bends excessively
D)Avionics system overheats quickly
💡 Explanation
If ice accumulates unevenly on the ailerons, the asymmetric drag force increases adverse yaw because of differential lift. Subsequently, the aircraft yaws into the rising wing rather than coordinating a smooth turn; therefore, increases in sideslip occur, rather than engine or avionics failures.
