An airplane said to be inherently stable will
A
be difficult to stall.
B
require less effort to control.✓ Correct Answer
C
not spin.
Explanation
An inherently (positively) stable airplane tends to return to its original condition after a disturbance, so PHAK notes it requires less effort to control. Stability does not prevent stalls or spins; a stable airplane can still be stalled and spun if flown beyond the critical angle of attack.
