Abstract
A control method for controlling aerodynamic means of an aircraft having mechanically decoupled flight controls enabling the aircraft to be piloted by at least two pilots. The aircraft has at least two control members operated by respective ones of the at least two pilots and each enabling control signals to be generated for causing the aerodynamic means to move relative to an incident air stream. The control method includes piloting logic ('operational' logic). The operational logic includes a dual operating mode in which each control member can control the aerodynamic means. In the dual operating mode, only one of the at least two control members, (the 'activated' member), has exclusive control over a full travel amplitude of the aerodynamic means. The other control member, (the “deactivated” member), then is temporarily inoperative on the aerodynamic means.
