A method and apparatus for controlling an angular parameter between a base member and a control surface of an aircraft is disclosed. An estimate is obtained of an angular rate of the control surface with respect to an inertial frame of the aircraft using a rate sensor. A residual angular rate that is a difference between a commanded angular rate and the estimate of the angular rate of the control surface is determined. The residual angular rate is used to control the angular parameter of the control surface or the angular parameter of the base member.
