ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for coupling at least two control columns (2A, 2B) of a control device (DC) of a machine, especially an aircraft. The coupling system includes for each of the columns (2A, 2B), at least one operating member (13A, 13B, 14A, 14B) capable of making the column (2A, 2B) tilt about an axis, and a calculation unit (CAL) receiving information relating to the position of tilt of the columns (2A, 2B) and generating, when at least one of the columns (2A, 2B) is operated, tilt commands which are transmitted to the operating member (13A, 13B, 14A, 14B) of the other column (2A, 2B).
