← TechnologyWhich outcome directly affects an aircraft's control surfaces following icing that exceeds anti-ice system capacity?
A)Reduced lift due to altered airfoil shape
B)Increased drag inducing stall at lower speeds
C)Restricted movement impacting maneuverability✓
D)Elevated fuel consumption from flight correction
💡 Explanation
When icing exceeds the anti-ice capacity, ice accretion modifies control surface profiles; the accumulated ice physically obstructs the proper movement because the actuators struggle to overcome the increased resistance. Therefore, restricted movement/maneuverability results, rather than altered lift,increased drag, or fuel consumption which involve different aeroelastic mechanisms arising from milder icing.
