Introduction Electrical Flight Control System (EFCS), first developed by Aerospatiale and installed on Concorde (as an analog system) and then designed with digital technology on Airbus aircraft from the 1980’s (A310), provides more sophisticated control of the aircraft and flight envelope protection functions[3],[4],[5]. The main characteristics are that high-level control laws in normal operation allow all control surfaces to be controlled electrically and that the system is designed to be available under all circumstances. The EFCS is a safety-critical system designed to meet very stringent requirements in terms of safety and availability. Most, but not all, of these requirements come directly from the Aviation Authorities (for example FAA, EASA, for details see [2],[1]).
