Principles of Flighthard#550
Aileron reversal at high speed occurs when:
A
The pilot applies insufficient aileron
B
Wing twist from aileron loads overpowers the aileron rolling moment, rolling the aircraft in the opposite direction
CorrectC
The ailerons mechanically jam
D
The hydraulic system fails
Explanation
At very high speeds, the aerodynamic force on a deflected aileron can twist the wing sufficiently to reverse the net rolling effect.
