The problem of manual but automation-aided controllers is very important for designers of today's equipment. Interactions of human with controllers must be properly solved and, besides design of control algorithms, the proper interfaces (information interfaces - from system to human and command interfaces - from human to system) are condition for successful operation. In the last years interest of researchers in active command interfaces (control sticks, levers), which can join both functions, has increased. In the paper, the analysis of different manual control system structures with different augmentation systems is presented. The effect of this analysis is a new control structure. The next problem which must be solved for implementation of active command interfaces is how to form its characteristics. Analysis of the controlled process responses (here, aircraft flight state) and state shows possibility of using information about aircraft state for the purpose of distinguishing some areas in the process state space and forming the force accordingly. The responses are obtained during simulation experiments. The results of simulations show proper and incorrect command depending on the flight condition and the force characteristics can be formed accordingly.
