Which risk increases sharply when a commercial aircraft executing an autoland experiences strong tailwinds near touchdown?

A)Runway overrun probability
B)Engine nacelle icing
C)Control surface flutter
D)Avionics system overheating

💡 Explanation

The risk of runway overrun rises sharply due to increased ground speed at touchdown because the aircraft's kinetic energy surpasses the braking capacity through the autobrake system; therefore, an overrun risk occurs rather than stopping safely, especially given constraints.
