A flight control device for an aircraft is provided with a control unit OP and a plurality of N instruction generating systems, each of which generates a first command instruction for the control unit OP and a least one of which performs autosurveillance and generates a corresponding surveillance signal. The flight control device is also provided with a plurality of P servocontrol systems, each of which is coupled to each of the instruction generating systems so that each of the servocontrol systems receives one of the first command instructions from each of the N instruction generating systems. Each of the servocontrol systems receives information identifying a particular position of a flight control unit, and each of the servocontrol systems communicates a second command instruction to the control unit OP based on the information.
