300 - ATPL Question Bank in English - For an intact aeroplane, a single large up-elevator input at a speed just above the applicable manoeuvring speed VA creates which structural risk?

Question 300 - Principles of Flight - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot Licence

The manoeuvre may exceed limit load and cause permanent deformation; immediate structural collapse is not guaranteed.

Any turn at that speed must cause the structure to collapse.

Steady trimmed level flight at that speed necessarily causes permanent deformation from dynamic pressure alone.

Any up-elevator input above VA must immediately exceed ultimate load and break the structure.
