An example method of limiting an aircraft to a pitch axis envelope includes determining aircraft state limits associated with multiple pitch axis variables of an aircraft, determining predicted aircraft states, comparing the predicted aircraft states to the aircraft state limits to produce aircraft state errors, translating the aircraft state errors into a set of positive and negative limit elevator commands, selecting a highest priority positive limit elevator command, selecting a highest priority negative limit elevator command, limiting a primary pitch axis control law elevator command of the aircraft to a value that is less than or equal to the highest priority positive limit elevator command and greater than or equal to the highest priority negative limit elevator command, and controlling the aircraft according to the primary pitch axis control law elevator command limited to the value.
