A method of operating an aircraft based on movement of a control stick. The method includes creating a deadband of the control stick, where the deadband extends between the central axis and a first angular distance from the central axis, controlling, in response to the control stick being positioned within the deadband, the aircraft according to a first control mode, controlling, in response to the control stick being positioned outside of the deadband, the aircraft according to a second control mode, and adjusting a size of the deadband such that the deadband extends between the central axis and a second angular distance from the central axis.
