Electronic Flight Control

Electronic Flight Control (EFC) systems use computers and sensors to manage an aircraft's control surfaces, such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders. Instead of relying solely on pilot input through traditional mechanisms like cables and pulleys, EFC electronically interprets pilot commands and adjusts control surfaces more precisely and quickly. This enhances flight stability, efficiency, and safety, especially in complex or turbulent conditions. EFC systems can include features like flight envelope protection, preventing the aircraft from exceeding safe operational limits, and enabling advanced automation, ultimately making flying safer and more efficient.
