An actuation system comprises a plurality of actuators, a common power drive unit for driving the actuators and a transmission line transmitting drive from the common drive unit to the plurality of actuators. A clutch is arranged in the transmission line between the power drive unit and the plurality of actuators for selectively disconnecting the power drive unit from the plurality of actuators. At least one sensor is provided for sensing an abnormal load condition in the actuation system. The at least one sensor is operatively coupled to a clutch control which is configured such that when the at least one sensor senses an abnormal load condition, the clutch control is operative to disengage the clutch so as to disconnect the power drive unit from the plurality of actuators. A brake is operative to brake the actuators upon disengagement of the clutch.
