Which risk increases when a turbine-powered amphibious aircraft experiences asymmetrical thrust reversing during landing?

A)Yaw instability and ground looping
B)Elevator stall and pitch oscillations
C)Rudder lock due to servo failure
D)Wing icing due to airflow disruption

💡 Explanation

Yaw instability significantly risks control because asymmetrical thrust reversing creates differential drag, initiating a yawing moment. Therefore, the aircraft is likely to swerve uncontrollably, leading to a ground loop, rather than experiencing pitch instability or rudder issues in this scenario.
