Abstract
An apparatus and method for decoupling of the behavior of an aircraft which may determine a first control demand that is representative of the actuation of a control member, determine a transfer function that is representative of the behavior of an aircraft upon actuation of the control member, determine a second control demand that is capable of generating a decoupling based at least on a partial inversion of the transfer function and a non-inverted part of the transfer function, calculate an overall demand from the sum of the first and second control demands, and apply the overall demand to the aircraft.
