← TechnologyWhich system impairment develops when an aircraft's fly-by-wire system experiences latency exceeding sensor feedback sampling rate?
A)Control surface osscillation and flutter✓
B)Engine flameout from uncoordinated throttle
C)Navigation drift due to accelerometer error
D)Hydraulic pump cavitation and actuator lag
💡 Explanation
When latency exceeds the sampling rate, the control system becomes unstable because feedback signals are out of sync with actual aircraft dynamics, leading to oscillations as the system overcorrects. Therefore control surface oscillation results, rather than engine flameout, navigation drift, or hydraulic issues, which require separate malfunctions.
