This invention relates generally to pedal grips and, more particularly, to a unique grip assembly for a rudder pedal, such as a rudder pedal of an aircraft or of an aircraft flight simulator. In testing the flight control systems of aircraft, and of aircraft flight simulators (hereinafter referred to as 'flight simulators'), the testing of the rudder control system must be included. It is apparent that what is needed in the art and is not presently available, is a rudder pedal grip that is non-destructive to the rudder pedal, that is reusable, and that is universally fitting, i.e., readily useable or adaptable for use on any rudder pedal of any aircraft or flight simulator. The present invention fulfills the above-mentioned need; and also, unlike prior art rudder pedal grips, makes possible the application of a load (i.e., force or pressure) to the rudder pedal not only through the use of the pilot's foot, but also through the use of any appropriate load applier. Therefore, this unique rudder pedal grip constitutes a significant advance in the state-of-the-art.
