Which risk increases when an electrohydraulic actuator's servovalve deadband increases in a flight control system?

💡 Explanation

When servovalve deadband increases, the actuator experiences a range of input signals where no correction occurs, causing limit cycling because control is delayed and unsteady, potentially exciting structural modes. Therefore, reduced stability results, rather than overheating, sensitivity, or loss of redundancy which require different valve failure modes.
