A method for determining a state of a component in a high lift system of an aircraft, the high lift system including a central power control unit for providing rotational power by a transmission shaft; and drive stations coupled with the power control unit and movable high lift surfaces, includes acquiring in an extended position in flight a first position of a first position pick-off unit coupled with the component, mechanically coupled with a high lift surface, and coupled with a drive station; acquiring in flight a second position of a second position pick-off unit arranged in or at the central power control unit in the extended position; determining a deviation between a first measure based on the first position and a second measure based on the second position; determining, whether the deviation exceeds a predetermined threshold; and if so, generating a signal indicating an abnormal state of the component.
