Abstract: A reconfigurable aircraft stick control for an aircraft simulator that enes pitch and roll to be simulated. It includes a generic base that has mounting means that are adapted to be connected to a stick control of the type having a standard production grip as well as a stick control that uses a yoke. The control sticks include linkages that are easily connected to the mounting means on the base so that control sticks can be exchanged with minimum expenditure of time and effort to thereby simulate the control sticks on aircraft that are being simulated. Torque motors can be connected to the simulator to detect the speed and displacement of the control stick and to provide resistance to movement of the control sticks so as to simulate actual flying conditions.

Abstract: A flight simulator displays control choices on an out-the-window display allows a crew member to control it directly by making selections of displayed choices through a "point and click" control module accessible by the crew member while located in the crew station. The simulator can be controlled by either of two crew members and also by an operator at an instructor operator station outside the crew station.
