Which increased risk arises when an aircraft's autopilot fails during icing conditions?

💡 Explanation

Aircraft icing distorts airfoil shapes. Failure of the autopilot causes Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I) because undetected ice accumulation means the plane exceeds its critical angle of attack threshold. This, therefore, greatly increases the stall risk rather than other system failures under environmental stress.
