Which of the following is NOT a stated effect of LCTs?

• A. Reduce pilot workload
• B. Increase flight envelope with level fuselage
• C. Decreases stress on rotor shafts
• D. Improve color night vision

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is what LCTs are intended to influence in flight. LCTs are designed to ease the pilot’s workload, help keep the aircraft’s fuselage level to broaden the flight envelope, and reduce the loads and stress on rotor shafts by improving control efficiency and stability. These effects come from improvements in control response and structural loading, not from sensing or imaging capabilities.

Improving color night vision isn’t a result you’d expect from LCTs, since vision and sensing enhancements require imaging systems or lighting changes, not flight-control or structural-control improvements.
