An aircraft includes actuators coupled to a lift device. The aircraft also includes a lift device control interface disposed on a flight deck of the aircraft. The lift device control interface is configured to receive a pilot input. The aircraft further includes a flight control system configured to generate a command corresponding to a target lift device position. The flight control system is also configured to send the command to the lift device control interface to cause the lift device control interface to indicate the target lift device position. The flight control system is further configured to send a control signal to the actuators to set the lift device to the target lift device position.
