Abstract: A bracket (20) for mounting a touch-to-talk actuator (38) off of a control column (24) of an airplane steering yoke (26) has a split collar (22) for clamping onto the control column (24) and an elongated support rod (32) cantilevered from the split collar (22), providing a distal mounting end (36) for the touch-to-talk actuator (38). Wires (44) link the touch-to-talk actuator (38) with controls in the airplane cockpit for intercom, radio, phone or other voice-communication path between the pilot and others, whether on the ground or elsewhere. The support rod (32) is elongated, configured and cantilevered from the split collar (22) such that the touch-to-talk actuator (38) is proximal one of the handles or hand grip portions of the steering yoke (26) so that the pilot can actuate it with a single digit, like his or her thumb, without otherwise letting go of the steering.
