← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a retractable aircraft landing gear's actuators experience reduced hydraulic pressure nearing touchdown?
A)Uncommanded gear collapse occurs✓
B)Engine stall probability increases
C)Fuselage skin cold cracks form
D)Elevator flutter instability begins
💡 Explanation
Uncommanded gear collapse increases risk because insufficient pressure impairs the down-lock mechanism, a physical latching system, needed to secure the gear. Therefore the gear can buckle under load rather than sustaining operational pressures at ground contact.
