Which outcome occurs when aircraft landing gear oleo strut experiences viscous lock?

A)Increased landing gear shimmy risk
B)Decreased braking efficiency occurs
C)Overheated tire leading to explosion
D)Reduced strut fatigue life cycle

💡 Explanation

Increased landing gear shimmy risk occurs because viscous lock prevents the oleo strut from damping oscillations, therefore increasing shimmy events rather than enabling smoother damping profiles as intended under normal operating conditions. The damping stops functioning.
