What component receives command signals for the flight control surfaces from the control stick and rudder pedal force sensors?

The flight control computers are integral to the aircraft's ability to translate pilot inputs into actions on the flight control surfaces. When a pilot moves the control stick or presses on the rudder pedals, these inputs are sensed and transmitted as command signals. The flight control computers process these signals and command the appropriate control surfaces, such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders, to move as necessary to achieve the desired flight response.

These computers play a crucial role in ensuring the aircraft responds accurately and efficiently to pilot commands, thus maintaining control during flight. They also incorporate various safety features and redundancies to enhance overall aircraft stability and reliability. In contrast, other components listed, like the aircraft/propulsion data management computers, are more focused on data management and system monitoring rather than directly implementing control surface commands. Similarly, the spoiler control/electronic flap computers and analog backup units serve specific functions unrelated to the direct reception and processing of commands from the pilot’s inputs.
