Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for controlling a tiltrotor aircraft using a flight control system. A flight control computer is configured to control aircraft effectors in response to inputs from inceptors. The flight control computer stores instructions for controlling aircraft effectors. The instructions cause the flight control computer to perform the steps of converting a signal representing longitudinal motion of a first inceptor into a fore-and-aft translational rate command for the tiltrotor aircraft; converting a signal representing lateral motion of the first inceptor into a side-to-side translational rate command for the tiltrotor aircraft; converting a signal representing longitudinal motion of a second inceptor into a height rate command for the tiltrotor aircraft; and converting a signal representing lateral motion of the second inceptor to a yaw rate command for the tiltrotor aircraft.
