Flight Grips / Grip Controls

Grip switches and buttons are fully functional and replicate the operations of the actual aircraft controls in form, fit, function and tactile feel.

All Grip Controls feature:

  • High quality proper switch applications with correct tactile feel
  • Mechanically located (clocked) switch attach points
  • Mechanically secured switches (no permanent or glued in attachments)
  • Removable / replaceable accurately replicated button tops

Where required, grips feature BT’s exclusive / proprietary TDC/SLEW switch.  This switch is manufactured to exacting standards to meet the demands of continuous simulation applications.  The device is a true force transducer component and designed to provide long-term reliable operation.
