A rotorcraft including a fly-by-wire control system also includes a flight control computer (FCC) operable to control flight of the rotorcraft by sending control signals to flight control elements of the rotorcraft. The rotorcraft includes a flight director system coupled to the FCC and configured to send a target signal to the FCC. The target signal indicates a desired flight characteristic of the rotorcraft. The FCC is configured to receive the target signal from the flight director system, determine control signals based on the target signal, and send the control signals to the flight control elements of the rotorcraft to control the flight of the rotorcraft based on the target signal.
