Actuation assembly for a trailing edge flap of an aircraft wing, comprising: a track fixable to the aircraft wing; a carriage arranged on the track so as to be movable across a range of carriage positions along the track; a flap-to-carriage connector configured to hingeably connect the carriage to a leading edge of the flap so as to determine a flap-to-carriage hinging axis extending transverse to a main track direction of the track at the leading edge of the flap; and a first actuator configured to controllably rotate the flap with respect to the carriage about the flap-to-carriage hinging axis, wherein the actuation assembly is configured to enable the flap, when connected, to be adjusted with respect to the wing between a retracted flap position and an extended flap position by moving the carriage within the range of carriage positions along the track.
