← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a quadcopter's flight controller incorrectly compensates for a failing rotor?
A)Unstable yaw axis oscillations✓
B)Excessive battery management throttling
C)Increased GPS signal degradation
D)Accelerated thermal expansion effects
💡 Explanation
Unstable yaw oscillations increase because the flight controller enters a feedback loop attempting to correct asymmetrical thrust via **proportional-integral-derivative control (PID)**. Therefore undesired axis oscillations appear, rather than stable level flight, because of over-correction under rapidly shifting conditions.
