A method of synchronizing a plurality of actuators includes sensing a position of the plurality of actuators associated with a swashplate and calculating a measured collective position and a measured cyclic position based on the sensed position. A collective position error and a cyclic position error are determined from the measured collective position and the measured cyclic position. The cyclic position error is compared to a predetermined threshold to evaluate whether operation of the plurality of actuators is within limits of the swashplate.
