Abstract

A method and device for estimating an unwanted pitch moment of an aircraft, and applications to the pitch control of the aircraft. The device estimates an unwanted pitch moment, which can be used to form a compensation command which is added to a standard deflection command with the aim of producing an automatic, active compensation, in real time, for the unwanted pitch moment of the aircraft.
