Which outcome results from ice disrupting flight controls?

💡 Explanation

Icing changes wing shape increasing stall speed because boundary layer airflow transitions to turbulence due to the formation of ice. This affects lift, therefore increasing stall speed, rather than improving engine function or economy, assuming the engines are ice protected.
