A flight control system for an aircraft includes a flight control computer operatively interconnected with a main rotor system and a translational thrust system of the aircraft. A selectively enabled integrated target and flight control system arranged in communication with the flight control computer. The integrated target flight and control system is configured to control pitch attitude and heading of the aircraft. When the integrated target and flight control system is enabled, at least partial operation of the aircraft is controlled in response to a pilot input via the flight control computer.
