← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an aircraft's autoland system experiences EMI near the localizer circuit?
A)Erroneous glideslope calculations emerge✓
B)Engine stall probability dramatically increases
C)Hydraulic actuator lockup may occur
D)Cabin pressurization rapidly decreases
💡 Explanation
During autoland, EMI near the highly sensitive localizer circuit can induce spurious signals, causing erroneous glideslope calculations because the interference adds to the genuine navigation input which uses radio waves; therefore, the aircraft may deviate rather than initiate engine stall which is entirely unrelated under these specified conditions.
