Technology

Which risk increases significantly when a turboprop aircraft's landing gear fails to fully lock?

A)Uncommanded propeller feathering occurs
B)Runway-induced stall becomes imminent
C)Asymmetric thrust generates severe yaw
D)Engine nacelle strike probability rises

💡 Explanation

Asymmetric yaw is likely because failure to lock results in one landing gear side experiencing drag while the other experiences normal braking. This asymmetric loading generates substantial yaw rather than feathering, stall, or increased nacelle strike. Therefore, differential braking induces yaw, because of asymmetric drag.
