A flap/slat control lever (200) and a method for operating the lever. The lever comprises: a first displacement sensor (204), used to detect displacement of the flap/slat control lever and to generate a first displacement detection signal; a second displacement sensor (205), used to detect the displacement of the flap/slat control lever and to generate a second displacement detection signal; a first control command module (CCM1), used to receive the first displacement detection signal; and a second control command module (CCM2), used to receive the second displacement detection signal, wherein the first control command module is in a standby state, and the second control command module is in an active state. The first control command module sends the first displacement detection signal to the second control command module. The second control command module compares the first and second displacement detection signals, and if the difference between the first and second displacement detection signals is within an acceptable error margin, the second control module sends the first or second displacement detection signal to a slat flap control computer (SFCC) to serve as a control signal for controlling operation of a flap and slat. The use of multiple displacement sensors and multiple control command modules ensures that a pilot can, under any anticipated operating conditions, operate a flap/slat control lever to output an available command signal to a high lift system, thereby reducing the likelihood of system failure.
