There is provided a lower attachment for a trimmable horizontal stabiliser actuator (THSA) for connecting the THSA to a flight control surface. The attachment includes: a nut assembly for providing a load path through the THSA to the flight control surface when the THSA is connected to the flight control surface. The nut assembly includes a nut for location on a screw shaft of the THSA, a failsafe plate for coupling to the flight control surface, and a transfer plate for transferring load between the failsafe plate and the nut. The nut assembly has a first unloaded configuration in which there is no contact between the nut and the transfer plate, and a second loaded configuration in which there is contact between a first pair of opposed surfaces of the nut and the transfer plate.
