ABSTRACT:
A flight management console for an air vehicle. The console includes an elongated pedestal connected at a first end to a rigid support structure located forward and below the front instrument panel of the vehicle. The elongated pedestal is capable of translating up and aft or down and forward relative to the front instrument panel and is positioned forward of an associated seat along a plane which bisects that associated seat and is parallel to the pitch plane of the vehicle. Primary flight controls are mounted on a second end of the pedestal. The console includes adjustment means for positioning the pedestal at the desired location along the plane which is parallel to the pitch plane. Therefore, the console allows easy ingress, egress and control of the primary flight controls according to the individual crewmember's anthropometry.
