A combined active stick and control boost actuator system (10) for a control surface (16) has a control stick (20) engaged to a mechanical flight control structure (12) with a linkage (14) configured to move a control surface (16). A mechanical interconnect (18) engages the linkage (14) and has a control stick connection. An integrated actuator (26) is separably connected to the mechanical interconnect (18) intermediate the control stick connection and the linkage (14). A stick force sensor (34) is configured to provide a stick force signal. A flight control system (30) receives the stick force signal and provides an actuator position control signal (42) to the integrated actuator (26). The integrated actuator (26) moves to a prescribed position in accordance with a force feel profile (52) providing pilot variable tactile cueing and power boost to reduce both fatigue and workload.
