A system, a method, and a computer program product for determining tactile cueing of a flight control input apparatus includes an interface for receiving observed parameters relating to the flight envelope of an aircraft. Upstream processing elements receive the observed states, convert dimensional aircraft state parameters into nondimensional aircraft state parameters, and provide the data to neural networks. The neural networks receive combinations of observed parameters and nondimensional aircraft state parameters and predict flight envelope limiting parameters. The neural networks are trained to predict the limiting parameters. A downstream processing element determines the most limiting flight envelope limiting parameter provided from the neural networks, therefore providing a tactile cueing position for a flight control input apparatus.
