A method of controlling an elevator of an aircraft includes selecting a factor for increasing or decreasing a predetermined horizontal tail load alleviation (HTLA) authority limit for an elevator based on at least one aircraft parameter. The HTLA authority limit decreases with an increase in Mach number and/or airspeed. The method also includes computing an elevator position limit as a product of the HTLA authority limit and the factor, and moving the elevator to a commanded elevator position that is no greater than the elevator position limit.
