A flight control system (10) for an aircraft comprises a flight control computer system (12), which is connected via an electronic or optoelectronic bus system (22) with a plurality of bus nodes (14, 16, 18, 20), which each are configured to at least one of controlling an associated aircraft device based on command messages received from the flight control computer system via the bus system and sending information messages to the flight control computer system via the bus system. According to one aspect of the disclosure, the electronic or optoelectronic bus system is a redundant electronic or optoelectronic bus system (22) comprising plural independent bus sub-systems (22a, 22b), wherein each bus node is configured to communicate with the flight control computer system (12) via two different bus sub-systems (22a, 22b) of the plural independent bus sub-systems, wherein each bus node further is configured to communicate with the flight control computer system on basis of an associated predetermined bus communication protocol via a first bus sub-system (22a) of the respective two different bus sub-systems and on basis of an associated predetermined bus communication protocol via a second bus sub-system (22b) of the respective two different bus sub-systems.
