This report describes the physical conditions of a multiaxis side-arm flight controller and armrest which were selected as being comfortable by a sample of 77 nonpilot and pilot personnel. Data are presented for males and females, right- and left-handed personnel, pilots and nonpilots, and pilots wearing and not wearing chemical-biological (CB) protective gear. Generally, the comfort range for the various armrest and flight controller parameters, as selected by nonpilot, male personnel, is sufficiently broad to include the effects of gender, handedness, protective clothing, and pilot experience. Keywords: Side-arm flight controller; Fly by wire; Fly by light; Advanced digital optical control system; Anthropometry.
