A system and method for actuating one or more high-lift flight control surfaces of an aircraft are disclosed. The system comprises actuators operatively coupled between a driveline and one or more high-lift flight control surfaces associated with a wing of the aircraft. The actuators are configured to cause actuation of the one or more first high-lift flight control surfaces in response to being driven by the first driveline. Each actuator is associated with a no-back device configured to prevent an air load on the one or more high-lift flight control surfaces from driving the one or more high-lift flight control surfaces. The system also comprises a backup brake applicable to the driveline. The backup brake can be applied upon the identification of a developing unsafe condition such as an asymmetry condition between the flight control surfaces of each wing of the aircraft or an uncommanded movement the flight control surfaces.
