The flight control system reconfiguration method was developed using model following algorithm with a nonlinear aircraft model and fuzzy logic method to calculate the control degradation coefficient for calculating control preventing consequences of failures. The method was implemented in the aircraft autopilot system. Simulations proved the effectiveness of the method.
