An aircraft controller includes a memory for storing instructions. The instructions are operable to cause the controller to perform a thrust balancing method and ensure a balanced thrust output from the aircraft. The thrust balancing method includes comparing an aircraft control surface setting in a cruise flight mode with the aircraft control surface setting in a flight idle mode of operations, thereby isolating an asymmetric thrust component of the aircraft control surface settings and determining an asymmetric thrust bias based on the isolated asymmetric thrust component of the aircraft control surface settings.
