A method of operating a rotorcraft (101) includes receiving multiple first height data signals from multiple first height sensors (404A) on the rotorcraft, wherein the first height sensors measure height using a first technique, receiving multiple second height data signals from multiple second height sensors (404B) on the rotorcraft (101), wherein the second height sensors measure height using a second technique that is different than the first technique, determining a first height signal from the multiple first height data signals based on a selection scheme, determining a second height signal from the multiple second height data signals, selecting the first height signal or the second height signal to determine a selected height signal, and generating a flight control signal and controlling operation of the rotorcraft (101) according to the flight control signal, the flight control signal based on the selected height signal.
