Systems and methods of aircraft lift control

A method comprising:

• determining, at a flight control system of an aircraft, a target lift device position of a target lift device, wherein the target lift device is associated with a lift device control interface that includes a control lever movable between lever positions, and wherein each lever position corresponds to a respective lift device position;
• sending, from the flight control system to the lift device control interface of the aircraft, a command to cause a visual indicator of the lift device control interface to indicate that the control lever is to move to a target control lever position corresponding to the target lift device position that is distinct from a detected lift device position of the target lift device;
• and
• sending a control signal from the flight control system to actuators to set a lift device of the aircraft to the target lift device position.

A line-replaceable unit comprising:

• a flight control system configured to:
• generate a command corresponding to a target lift device position of a target lift device, wherein the target lift device is associated with a lift device control interface that includes a control lever movable between lever positions, and wherein each lever position corresponds to a respective lift device position;
• send the command to the lift device control interface of an aircraft to cause a visual indicator of the lift device control interface to indicate that the control lever is to move to a target control lever position corresponding to the target lift device position that is distinct from a detected lift device position of the target lift device;
• and
• send a control signal to actuators to set a lift device of the aircraft to the target lift device position.
