Which outcome occurs when ground effect is lost during a precision landing?

A)Increased induced drag occurs immediately
B)Engine stall occurs predictably quickly
C)Reverser deployment becomes ineffective anyway
D)Control surfaces have more authority still

💡 Explanation

Increased induced drag occurs because the aircraft's downwash encounters the ground, increasing pressure under the wings and causing drag, and therefore drag increases sharply rather than engine stall or increased control, because ground effect diminishes thrust requirements.
