Abstract
A servo-control system for actuating an aircraft flight control member, the system including at least one hydraulic actuator together with actuation means for actuating said actuator, said hydraulic actuator being duplicated, said actuation means including first and second actuation assemblies each comprising two hydraulic circuits each controlled by a respective mechanically-controlled distributor valve, the two distributor valves of the same actuation assembly being actuated by common mechanical elements caused to move by motor means, the actuation means including control means controlling said motor means as a function of the position of the flight control member and of piloting orders received by the control means, detection means for detecting failures, and a selector valve which controls switching of the actuation assemblies between an active state and a reserve state.
