Zusammenfassung:	05002993-2776CA ABSTRACT Systems and methods for determining a throttle position of an aircraft are described herein. A first throttle position is obtained from a first sensor, a second throttle position is obtained from a second sensor, and a third throttle position is obtained from a third sensor. The three sensors are separately coupled to a throttle of the aircraft for obtaining independent throttle position measurements therefrom. A difference between the first throttle position and the second throttle position is determined. A mismatch is detected when the difference between the first throttle position and the second throttle position exceeds a threshold. A valid one of the first throttle position and the second throttle position is selected based on the third throttle position, in response to detecting the mismatch. A signal indicative of the throttle position is outputted based on the valid one of the first throttle position and the second throttle position. Date Recue/Date Received 2020-12-11
