Described is a system and apparatus that provides redundant flight control for an aerial vehicle without the use of independent and dedicated redundant flight control boards and processors. Additional compute resources available on processors of other device boards of an aerial vehicle may be used to execute redundant flight control programs. The device boards and/or those redundant flight control programs monitor the operability of the various flight controllers. If any of the flight controllers is determined to be inoperable, one of the redundant flight control programs assumes the role of the inoperable controller.
