Airbus Sidestick & Throttle

This pack combines an ergonomic 1:1 scale sidestick replica with a matching throttle quadrant, both officially licensed by Airbus. It targets sim pilots who want hardware that mirrors the A320 flight deck layout. The set connects to a Windows 10 or 8 PC and works with the TM Flying Clamp for desk mounting.

Upgrade from Generic Sticks

The pack replaces entry-level joysticks that use potentiometers and lack Airbus-specific detents or reverser mechanisms. The jump is worth it when you fly airliners regularly and need the muscle memory of a sidestick with swappable head modules and a dedicated thrust reverser. It does not suit builders who need a second control set for multi-crew setups or pilots who prefer a centre-stick yoke for general aviation aircraft.

Desk Mount and Rudder Options

The TM Flying Clamp secures the units to a desk without permanent fixtures. Rudder control is handled by rotating the sidestick handle, which can be locked, or by adding compatible TFRP or TPR pedals sold separately. A common issue is forgetting to unlock the handle rotation before taxiing, which leaves the aircraft without yaw input. Ensure the USB connection is recognised by Windows before launching the simulator.

Questions about this item

How much desk space and clamp clearance does the 2960842 throttle quadrant need for the TM Flying Clamp?

The throttle quadrant is designed for the TM Flying Clamp; allow roughly 320 mm width for the quadrant plus the clamp’s screw travel and handle swing room.

Which step do pilots skip when locking the sidestick’s rudder rotation before first flight?

Rotate the handle to the desired rudder position, then slide the lock switch fully forward until it clicks; the axis stays fixed until the switch is released.

When should I clean the H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensors on the sidestick and throttle axes?

Wipe the sensor openings with a dry microfibre cloth every few months; the contactless 14-bit halls have no potentiometers to wear out.
