A method augmenting a pilot's command lane signal by transmitting the pilot's input command to a first summer and the surface actuator control circuitry. The first summer output signal is transmitted to a second summer circuit to add (or subtract) the first summer output signal with a flight control signal resulting in a second summer output signal. The second summer output signal is transmitted to the first summer to add, subtract or otherwise modify the second summer output signal with the pilot command input signal. Thus, the pilot command input signal is augmented or coupled with the second summer output signal to provide better control of the aircraft while not allowing the flight control computer/avionics control electronic circuitry to directly augment the pilot command input signal.

1. A method for providing command augmentation to a pilot command lane within a vehicle comprising the steps of:a) transmitting a pilot's input command to a first summer and a surface actuator control circuitry; b) transmitting the first summer output signal to a second summer circuit to modify the first summer output signal with a flight control signal from a flight control computer/actuator control electronics (FCM/ACE) circuit resulting in a second summer output signal; and c) transmitting the second summer output signal to the first summer to modify the second summer output signal with the pilot command input signal, the steps identified collectively as a command lane.
