This paper focuses on failure detection in the electrical flight control system of Airbus aircraft. Fault tolerance is designed into the system by the use of stringent processes and rules, which are summarized below. Monitoring of the system components is part of this fault-tolerant design. This paper covers the particular case of oscillatory failure monitoring in the electrical flight control system. The main characteristics and consequences of these failures are presented. The detection of oscillatory failures on the A380 is considered, together with the concept of analytical redundancy to detect these failures. A nonlinear actuator model is used to generate a residual on which the failure is detected by oscillation counting. Real application and benefits of the overall method are also presented. The results are highly satisfactory and the overall method is currently implemented on A380 flight control computers.
