Abstract
The disclosed embodiments concern a process for limiting the control surface steering angle of an aircraft, including operations to: determine the maximum permissible steering angle in function of the speed of the aircraft, detect a yaw configuration of the aircraft following a first order for control surface deflection at a maximum steering angle and a first direction, apply a limit to the maximum permissible steering angle. The disclosed embodiments also concerns a system for implementing the process.

Process for limiting the steering angles of an aircraft's control surface, including an operation to determine the maximum permissible steering angle in function of the speed of the aircraft, characterized in that it includes the following operations to:
- detect a yaw configuration of the aircraft following a first order for control surface deflection at a maximum steering angle and a first direction,
- apply a limit to the maximum permissible steering angle.
System for limiting the steering angle of a control surface of an aircraft, including:
- a device for acquiring the speed of the aircraft,
- a device for determining the maximum permissible steering angle in function of the speed of the aircraft,
- a device for acquiring the current position of the control surface, characterized in that it includes:
- a device to detect a yaw configuration of the aircraft and order for control surface deflection at a maximum permissible steering angle and a first direction, and
- a device to limit the value of the maximum permissible steering angle.
