An aircraft (101) is provided with a single centrally located inceptor (110) for controlling pitch and roll of the aircraft. The inceptor (110) is provided with a double grip (11, 112) so that it may be comfortably operated by either a pilot or a co-pilot. A central location for the inceptor ensures that its motion and position is visible to both pilot and co-pilot. Not only is this a benefit from a safety point of view but also during pilot training. Alternatively, two inceptors (411, 412) are provided in the centre console (406) adjacent to one another for operation respectively by the pilot and co-pilot and may be mechanically linked. Optionally, the aircraft may be provided with outboard throttle quadrants (117, 118) for operation respectively by the co-pilot and pilot. The outboard throttle quadrants may be mechanically linked together.
