Which instability occurs when aircraft elevator effectiveness decreases?

A)Longitudinal static stability loss
B)Lateral phugoid mode damping
C)Dutch roll oscillation increase
D)Spiral divergence susceptibility

💡 Explanation

When the elevator's ability to affect pitch diminishes, pitch damping decreases drastically because the static margin effectively moves aft; therefore, longitudinal static stability is lost, rather than lateral modes being directly affected.
