ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling the tab (6) of an aircraft control surface (3) having a pair of position sensors (12 and 15) that supply information regarding the turning of the control surface (3) and the position of a jack (13), respectively, on the basis of signals generated by the sensors (12 and 15) as well as possibly on the basis of at least one parameter (p) originating from the aircraft, such as airspeed, positions of lift-augmenting devices, forces exerted by the pilot on a control, etc., and which formulates a command for the jack (13).
