Abstract
An aircraft flight control system comprises a set of primary computers, each configured to compute a flight order dependent on at least one aircraft flight parameter and intended for an aircraft control surface actuator remote controller. Each computer participates in command mode within a first virtual command/monitor pair and in monitor mode within a second virtual command/monitor pair. Each computer determines a consolidated flight parameter value as a function of a flight parameter value acquired by this computer and of flight parameter values received from the other computers, using a consolidation algorithm commonly used by all primary computers to each determine a consolidated flight parameter value, and compute the intended flight order for the remote controller as a function of the consolidated flight parameter value, according to a unique computation whose result is used by the computer both when acting in command mode and when acting in monitor mode.
