A method for testing a component in a high lift system (2) of an aircraft comprises the steps of activating a brake (12) coupled with at least one hydraulic motor (8), commanding a rotation of the at least one hydraulic motor (8) for a predetermined period of time, wherein the brake (12) remains activated, acquiring a sensor output of a motion sensor (40) coupled with a central power control unit (4) for moving a high lift surface (30) during the commanded rotation of the at least one hydraulic motor (8), determining a motion of the power control unit (4) from the acquired sensor output, comparing the determined motion with a predetermined threshold value, and generating a brake indication signal in case the determined motion exceeds the predetermined motion threshold value. |
