Abstract

An example method includes receiving pitch angle sensor information indicative of a pitch angle of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle comprises a main landing gear having a strut and a pitch control surface configured to control the pitch angle of the vehicle; determining a trailing-edge-up limit for upward movement of the pitch control surface to control a de-rotation rate of the vehicle as the vehicle lands; receiving load sensor information indicative of a load on the strut of the main landing gear of the vehicle; based on the pitch angle of the vehicle being below a pitch angle threshold, determining an updated trailing-edge-up limit based on the load on the strut; and controlling the pitch control surface based on the updated trailing-edge-up limit.
