ANN's Daily Aero-Term (07.09.07): Throw-Over Control

Aero-Terms!

Aero-Terms are designed to be a daily reminder of the terms, names, acronyms and explanations of the unique language that populates the aviation world. Aerospace, sport aviation, fixed wing, helo, you name it... it's all fair game.

Aero-Terms should serve as a quick but intriguing reminder of the terms you may use every day, or an introduction to an aspects of the Aero-World you may not yet be familiar with. ANN also encourages readers to go beyond the FMI link, and further research any intriguing terms.

Suggestions for future Aero-Terms are ALWAYS welcome, as are additions or discussion of the explanations given for each Aero-Term.

Throw-Over Control

A type of airplane control wheel that may be moved from in front of the left seat to a position in front of the right seat. This is done so the aircraft can be flown from either seat. To throw the wheel over, a pin in the control column is released, and the upper part of the column on which the wheel is mounted pivots so it can be moved from one side to the other. Early Beechcraft Bonanzas featured this type of control system
