Which risk increases when a small aircraft's aileron cable tension drastically loosens?

A)Increased rudder stall at low speeds
B)Reduced effectiveness of yaw damper
C)Flutter instability close to stall
D)Elevator jamming during steep climbs

💡 Explanation

Flutter risk increases because reduced cable tension lowers the **torsional stiffness**. This reduction increases the positive feedback between aerodynamic forces and aileron's motion, leading to oscillations, therefore impacting maneuverability, rather than primarily affecting yaw or elevator systems.
