A fuel control system for an aircraft includes first and second electric motor controlled fuel pumps connect in parallel with one another to a fuel line. A plurality of fuel nozzles are connected to the fuel line to issue pressurized fuel from the fuel line with the ability to throttle flow based on system needs along with the electric pumping. At least one fuel nozzle in the plurality of fuel nozzles includes a respective sensor system. A fuel controller is operatively connected to receive input from the respective sensor system of the at least one fuel nozzle, and operatively connected to control the first and second electric motor controlled pumps based on input from the respective sensor system of the at least one fuel nozzle.
