A method and apparatus for controlling movement of a component in a system by a plurality of actuators. An operation actuation command to move the component is received. For each of the plurality of actuators, the operation actuation command is used to generate a feed-forward equalization command for the actuator, the feed-forward equalization command for the actuator is combined with the operation actuation command to provide an equalized actuation command for the actuator, and the actuator is controlled to move the component using the equalized actuation command for the actuator.
