Abstract
A controller for an aircraft system of an aircraft, the aircraft system including a first actuator and a first energy supply. The controller is configured to, when the aircraft system is configured in a first configuration, in which the first actuator is coupled to the first energy supply, determine that there is a loss of energy supplied to the first actuator from the first energy supply. The controller is configured to determine a change in performance achievable by reconfiguring the aircraft system from the first configuration to an alternative configuration, in which the first actuator is uncoupled from the first energy supply, and cause reconfiguration of the aircraft system from the first configuration to the alternative configuration, in the event that the change in performance determined by the controller is a gain in performance.
