A method in the field of flight control laws (CLAWs) used to control a flexible structure, for example an air to air refueling flying boom system, the method detecting the physical status determined by exogenous boundary conditions acting on the flexible structure. A computer program is provided which carries out the method for detecting the physical status of a flexible structure. A system and aircraft comprising such a flexible structure are also provided. 1. A method for detecting a physical status of a flexible structure , said status being either free-movement or restricted-movement , the flexible structure having time-varying elastic characteristics , with a total number N∈ of elastic modes , being i a generic elastic mode , i∈:i∈[1 , N] , and the flexible structure being controlled by flight control laws (CLAWs) , these CLAWs comprising specific filtering modes for free-movement or restricted-movement status , the method comprising the following steps:{'sup': A', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'th', 'th', '+, 'sub': n', 'n, 'img': {'@id': 'CUSTOM-CHARACTER-00016', '@he': '3.22mm', '@wi': '2.12mm', '@file': 'US20220297849A1-20220922-P00001.TIF', '@alt': 'custom-character', '@img-content': 'character', '@img-format': 'tif'}, 'a) sampling a first and a second discrete-time scalar signal yand ycontaining measured dynamics of the flexible structure, being yand yan nsample of the respective signal provided by a first (A) and second (B) active measurement source, this sampling being performed with a sample time Δt, and the nsample of a signal being n∈:n∈[1, ∞),'}{'sub': n', 'n, 'sup': A', 'B, 'claim-text': [{'sub': 'n', 'sup': 'F', 'first elastic mode (i=1) estimated activity signal {circumflex over (γ)}in free-movement status,'}, {'sub': 'n', 'sup': 1', {'sub2': 'R'}], 'first elastic mode (i=1) estimated activity signal γin restricted-movement status,'}], 'b) obtaining from the first and second yand ysampled signals the following signals{'sub': n', 'n', 'n', 'n', 'n', 'n, 'sup': 1 ...
