Abstract: A connecting bar is provided for extending between the combined rudder and wheel brake controlling pedals of an aircraft and includes a centrally disposed rearwardly and upwardly inclined control arm or handle portion. The opposite ends of the bar are connected to the associated combined rudder and wheel brake controlling pedals in a manner enabling lateral deflection of the upper end of the control arm or handle portion to actuate the rudder controlling movement of the corresponding pedal, upward displacement of the control arm or handle portion to effect wheel brake application movement of both rudder pedals, and simultaneous upward and lateral deflection of the control arm or handle portion to effect rudder actuation and wheel brake application movement of the corresponding rudder pedal.
