Which outcome occurs when an aircraft autopilot misinterprets the radar altimeter during landing?

💡 Explanation

A premature upward pitch occurs because altitude misinterpretation by the autopilot triggers the flare maneuver, thus implementing the alpha protection mode, therefore inducing an earlier flare rather than a consistent controlled descent.
