An aircraft includes one or more LRUs including one or more processors. The aircraft also includes one or more actuators coupled to one or more flight control surfaces. The actuator(s) are communicatively coupled to at least one of the LRU(s) to receive control signals. The aircraft also includes one or more sensors coupled to at least one of the LRU(s) and configured to generate sensor data indicative of a trajectory of the aircraft. While in a manual flight mode, the processor(s) are configured to generate trajectory guidance data based on one or more trajectory setpoints. The processor(s) are also configured to, while in the manual flight mode, determine an error metric indicating deviation between the trajectory of the aircraft and the trajectory guidance data and send a control signal based on the error metric to the one or more actuators.
