Seat mounted inboard flight controllers for aircraft pilot seats cause the flight controllers to move with the pilot and copilot seats as the seats are adjusted forward and aft. The flight controllers are tied to the seats and move with the seats via the extenders and flight controller mounting brackets. The two flight controllers are coupled together using a linear bearing. One half of the linear bearing is attached to the inboard side of the flight controller. The other half of the linear bearing attaches to the inboard side of the copilot cyclic flight controller. The flight controllers attach to a mounting bracket that extends down to the extenders that attach to the seats. A complete load path is formed between the pilot and copilot seats that support the flight controllers without mounting anything to the cockpit center column.
