Abstract
A flight control device for an aircraft, in particular for a helicopter, includes, in addition to a control member and an actuator of a controlled member, a determination unit for determining a control command which corresponds to a translational rate control command, dependent on the deflection of the control member, while the translational rate of the aircraft is less than a reference value and which corresponds otherwise to a translational acceleration or angular rate control command, dependent on an extra deflection of the control member.
