Which outcome occurs on aircraft landing when strut rebound exceeds hydraulic dampening?

A)Uncontrolled vertical oscillation develops
B)Tire deflation prevents further bounces
C)Landing gear locks permanently extended
D)Aircraft directional control immediately inverts

💡 Explanation

An uncontrolled vertical oscillation (wheel hop) develops because insufficient damping allows repeated spring rebounds during landing; the hydraulic dampening’s energy dissipation is overcome by strut elastic energy; therefore, hop starts, rather than a smooth settling, when the dampening is insufficient.
