← ScienceWhich risk increases when unheated aircraft struggle to generate lift?
A)Premature icing of airflow sensors✓
B)Compromised navigation instrument accuracy
C)Loss of pitot tube indication
D)Decreased fuel combustion efficiency
💡 Explanation
Icing risk increases because rapid air expansion from Bernoulli's principle lowers the air temperature, therefore, rather than combustion inefficiency, ice forms faster, influencing sensors long before significantly affecting fuel mixture rates compared to the whole aircraft system.
