A system and method for providing state comparison of redundant processors used, e.g. to control a rotor craft. A primary microprocessor is configured to receive input data from a position sensor and a flight condition sensor and determine therefrom a first desired control law state, and a secondary microprocessor is configured to receive input data from the position sensor and the flight condition sensor and determine therefrom a second desired control law state. The first desired control law state from the primary microprocessor and the second desired control law state from the secondary microprocessor are compared, and (a) the first desired control law state is entered when the first desired control law state and the second desired control law state match, and (b) a last known control law state is maintained when the first desired control law state and the second desired control law state do not match.
