Aspects of the invention relate to a method of controlling a wind turbine comprising a rotor and a plurality of rotor blades. The method comprises: receiving a plurality of blade flap load signals indicative of measured flap loading on respective rotor blades, each blade flap load signal being received from a blade flap load sensor of a respective rotor blade; determining an average blade flap load signal based, at least in part, on the plurality of blade flap load signals; and determining a maximum thrust level for a thrust limit controller based on the average blade flap load signal and a reference load value that is indicative of a maximum allowable variation of the average blade flap load signal from a normal value.
