Closed loop instability or "pilot-induced oscillations" will be most likely to occur with systems that have:
A) high gain and short time delay
B) low gain and short time delay
C) high gain and long time delay
D) low gain and long time delay

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High gain and long time delay in a system can lead to closed loop instability or "pilot-induced oscillations" because the high gain amplifies inputs significantly, and the long time delay causes a lag in the system's response, making it difficult to correct errors in a timely manner, thus leading to potential oscillations.
