Which instability grows when flight control system latency nears resonant frequency?

💡 Explanation

Pilot-induced oscillation appears when control latency excites natural aircraft frequencies via **closed-loop feedback**. This feedback causes amplification, because the slight delays introduce phase shifts, therefore oscillations start faster, rather than control surfaces simply being ineffective or flutter speed shifting.
