A system and method of controlling flight of an aircraft is disclosed. The system includes a first inceptor that provides a direct mode command for controlling a control axis of the aircraft according to a direct mode and a second inceptor that provides a stable mode command for controlling the control axis of the aircraft according to a stable mode. A processor receives the direct mode command and the stable mode command, forms a combined command for controlling the control axis of the aircraft based on a combination of the direct mode command and the stable mode command, and controls the control axis of the aircraft according to the combined command.
