Methods and apparatus to validate an aircraft control system command

摘要

Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to validate an aircraft control system command are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a monitor and annunciation module to determine a first status of a first component of a folding wingtip assembly coupled to a wing of an aircraft, identify a second component in response to the first status being invalid, the second component having a second status, and replace the first status with the second status when the first status is invalid, a sequence and control module to generate a command to control a movement of the folding wingtip assembly, and a gatekeeper module to validate the command based on either of the first status or the second status, use of the first status or the second status based on whether the first status is invalid, and facilitate the movement of the folding wingtip assembly based on the validated command.
