Abstract
For emergency piloting of a manual flight control system (7) of an aircraft (1), in the event of flexible connection means (26) breaking, an upstream control device (8) takes authority over the electronic control unit (29) of series actuator (21). An output pivoting quadrant (25) is subjected by a centering rod (22) to a blocking and centering action. In the event of the system breaking, the output pivoting quadrant (25) forms a bearing point for the series actuator (21), so that an emergency control actuate a airfoil surface (11).
