Method for adjusting aircraft controls

A method for controlling flight control surfaces of an aircraft, the method being carried out by a system for controlling the flight control surfaces of the aircraft formed of electronic circuitry and comprising the following steps:

• obtaining a control law for the flight control surfaces as a function of flight controls of the aircraft;
• obtaining measurements of ground speed of the aircraft, of true speed of the aircraft, of roll angle of the aircraft, of pitch angle of the aircraft, of angle of attack of the aircraft, of sideslip angle of the aircraft, and of slope angle of the aircraft;
• estimating a velocity of wind in three dimensions using the measurements obtained;
• performing an adjustment of the control law for the flight control surfaces, in order to counter an estimated effect of the wind, and thus obtain an adjusted control law for the flight control surfaces by adding, to the control law for the flight control surfaces, a term for compensation of the wind comprising a term proportional to a derivative of the wind estimation;
• and
• controlling the aircraft by adjusting the flight controls to modify the flight control surfaces in response to the adjusted control law.
