A study was performed to determine the relative advantages and disadvantages of four candidate pilot control devices for use by a single pilot flying a general aviation aircraft in instrument meteorological conditions. Only the pitch and roll axes were considered. The control devices examined were the wheel-yoke, center-stick, Brolley handles, and side-arm controller. Qualitative evaluation criteria were established that included instrument panel visibility, control sensitivity, pilot comfort, and space requirement behind the instrument panel. The results of the study indicated that the side-arm controller offered the possibility of an improvement, but further research was necessary to determine its feasibility.
