Abstract
The directions of travel of an inner and an outer loop actuator are monitored for movement in opposite directions within selected ranges and the outer loop actuator is disabled under selected conditions. These conditions may include movement of both the inner and outer loop actuators in opposite directions, any one of which has been detected moving at a rate greater than a selected rate or to a position outside a selected range. The invention is particularly suited for an aircraft trim actuator shutdown monitor system.
