Abstract
A flight control module with integrated actuator spoiler control electronics, where the flight control functions have been integrated into the integrated modular avionics through the use of a flight control module ('FCM'), the FCM being configured to contain spoiler actuator control electronics ('ACE'). The spoiler ACE is used to control the roll functions of the spoiler. The spoiler ACE is configured to be separate from the FCM, even though it is located within the same modules and receives its power independent of the power supply for the FCM. In the event of a failure of the primary flight control surfaces of an airplane, the spoilers can be used to control the roll of the aircraft because the spoiler ACE is independent of the ACE used to control the primary flight control surfaces. The spoiler ACE can also be used in the event of a failure of the FCM because the spoiler ACE is independent of the FCM.
