Which risk increases when a turbojet-powered aircraft lands with insufficient flap extension?

A)Elevated engine EGT
B)Stagnation point migration
C)Main gear shimmy onset
D)Autoland system divergence

💡 Explanation

Landing without sufficient flap extension increases speed, leading to higher landing gear strut compression rates; this excitation triggers main gear shimmy because damping capacity is exceeded. Therefore, gear oscillations escalate, rather than EGT increase that concerns gas turbine thermal limits.
