A system for detecting and controlling the position of a spoiler (80) of an aircraft wing is described herein comprising: a hydraulic actuator (40) having a piston rod (43) operably connected to the spoiler (80), the piston rod (43) being moveable between a retracted position, a neutral position and an extended position; and means for providing power to said hydraulic actuator (40); and a mechanical device (50) for detecting whether the piston rod (43) is in the retracted position, the neutral position or the extended position; and means (60), operatively connected to the mechanical device (50), that is configured to provide a change in a load applied to said hydraulic actuator (43), wherein said means (60) is configured to change said load based on whether said piston rod (43) is detected as being in said retracted position or said extended position.
