Methods and apparatus for operating flight control systems of aircrafts are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a flight control system including a first sensor and a second sensor. The example apparatus also includes a processor to, based on data from the first and second sensors, determine first and second input values and, based the input values, determine an approximate location of a jam in the flight control system of an aircraft.

1. A method comprising: determining first and second values;based on the values, determining a location of a jam in a flight control system of an aircraft, the location of the jam is determined based on a first summation of the first and second values. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the flight co
1. A method comprising: determining first and second values;based on the values, determining a location of a jam in a flight control system of an aircraft, the location of the jam is determined based on a first summation of the first and second values. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the flight control system comprises an elevator control system, a lateral control system, or a directional control system. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second values comprise first and second input force values associated with control columns of the flight control system. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the flight control system comprises a mechanical control system or a fly-by-wire control system. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the location of the jam comprises determining if the first summation is approximately equal to or above a predetermined value. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the jam comprises an aft jam if the first summation is approximately equal to or above a predetermined value. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the jam comprises a forward jam if the first summation is approximately less than a predetermined value. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein based on the jam being the forward jam, enabling a forward jam override device to mitigate the jam. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the jam comprises an elevator jam. 10. A method, comprising: determining first and second values;based on the values, determining a location of a jam in a flight control system of an aircraft, the jam comprises an elevator jam, andbased on the elevator jam being an aft jam, determining a direct lift control command to mitigate the elevator jam. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising, based on the direct lift control command, commanding wing spoilers of the aircraft to mitigate the elevator jam. 12. An apparatus, comprising: an elevator control system comprising a first sensor and a second sensor; anda processor to: based on data from the first and second sensors, determine first and second input force values;based on a first summation of the first and second input force values, determine an approximate location of an elevator jam in an elevator control system of an aircraft. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor is to identify the elevator jam as being an aft jam if the first summation is approximately equal to or above a predetermined value. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein when the processor identifies the elevator jam as being an aft jam, the processor is to determine a direct lift control command to mitigate the elevator jam. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein, based on the direct lift control command determined, the processor is to command the wing spoilers of the aircraft to mitigate the elevator jam. 16. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor is to identify the elevator jam as being a forward jam if the first summation is approximately less than a predetermined value. 17. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein when the processor identifies the elevator jam as being a forward jam, the processor is to enable a forward jam override device to mitigate the elevator jam.
