← ScienceWhich outcome results when aircraft experience radio altimeter interference?
A)Spurious terrain clearance warnings✓
B)Elevated engine turbine temperatures
C)Increased structural aerodynamic flutter
D)Incorrect fuel consumption calculations
💡 Explanation
Radio altimeter interference causes incorrect altitude readings due to signal reflection superposition, resulting in constructive and destructive interference. This leads to incorrect distance estimates, therefore triggers false 'too low' warnings, rather than the temperature issues or other sensor malfunctions.
