An active pilot inceptor system (400) includes a pilot inceptor (210-1), a multi-phase motor (432), and a motor control (212). The pilot inceptor (210-1) is configured to receive user input and is operable, in response to the user input, to move to a control position. The multi-phase motor (432) is coupled to the pilot inceptor (210-1) to selectively supply haptic feedback thereto. The motor control (212) is operable to selectively energize the multi-phase motor (432) in a manner that causes the multi-phase motor (432) to generate torque and supply the haptic feedback to the inceptor (210-1), and to selectively energize the multi-phase motor (432) in a manner that the multi-phase motor (432) does not generate torque.
