← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when excessive free play exists between the transmission and landing gear actuator worm in an aircraft's landing gear system?
A)Increased chance of gear jamming
B)Reduced braking effectiveness upon landing
C)Oscillations during high-speed taxiing✓
D)Elevated hydraulic fluid temperatures
💡 Explanation
Excessive free play allows undamped oscillations to propagate due to lost motion, which is a form of mechanical backlash; therefore, the aircraft experiences oscillations rather than jamming, because the backlash creates a resonance condition not allowing smooth operation to be maintained.
