Question
Technology

Which outcome will occur in an aircraft if the stability augmentation system (SAS) actuators exceed their maximum rate limits?

A)Control surface reversal (oscillation)
B)Increased aerodynamic stall margin
C)Enhanced passenger ride comfort
D)Improved fuel consumption efficiency

💡 Explanation

Control surface reversal appears because exceeding the SAS rate limits leads to phase lag in the flight control hydraulic actuators, thereby creating unintended oscillations rather than stabilizing motion; therefore, the aircraft control is then destabilized rather than enhanced.
