A system and method of mitigating a force fight between hydraulically-operated actuators that are coupled to a single flight control surface is provided. The differential fluid pressure across each hydraulically-operated actuator is sensed. The position of a user interface is sensed using a plurality of user interface position sensors. Flight control surface position is sensed using one or more position sensors. The sensed differential pressures, the sensed user interface positions, and the sensed flight control surface position are used to generate a plurality of substantially equal actuator commands.
