Abstract
A spoiler actuator can be operated by applying high pressure to a first chamber of the actuator on receipt of a command to extend the spoiler; applying high pressure to a second chamber of the actuator on receipt of a command to retract the spoiler; and on failure of a supply of the high pressure actuating an anti-extension valve to prevent extension of the spoiler; disengaging the anti-extension valve to permit extension if pressure applied to the anti-extension valve exceeds a predetermined force of a spring biasing the anti-extension valve to the engaged position, wherein additional force is applied to the anti-extension valve if the spoiler is retracted beyond a neutral position.
