The controls are conventional three axis, with a top-mounted centre stick.

The controls include a single, centrally-mounted centre stick and electric trim.

The pilot flies the aircraft by means of a centre stick and left hand throttles.

A single centre stick controls the ailerons and elevators.

On heavier, faster, more advanced aircraft the centre stick may also control power-assist modules.

A centre stick is used for pitch and roll control while rudder pedals control yaw.

The Controls take the form of a conventional centre stick and a throttle stick located to the left of the pilot.

Modern aircraft centre sticks are also usually equipped with a number of electrical control switches within easy finger reach, in order to reduce the pilot's workload.

The pilot is accommodated on an open seat and has conventional three-axis controls in the form of a centre stick and rudder pedals.

I was clinging on pretty precariously myself, wrapped round the centre stick with a leg on each side, and the bullets zipping past us from the last policeman's gun added a certain something to the experience.

The centre stick is a part of an aircraft's flight control system, and is typically linked to its ailerons and elevators, or alternately to its elevons, by control rods or control cables on basic aircraft.

The centre stick is used in many military fighter jets such as Eurofighter Typhoon and the Mirage III, but also in light aircraft such as Piper Cubs and the Diamond Aircraft line of products such as the DA20, DA40 and DA42.
