S-92 Hover Trim Controller Extension
Heli-One developed an operational aid for S-92 hoist operators that have difficulties with the thumb stick on the hoist pendant. The controller is small and troublesome to use in operational settings (with one hand and gloves on). The Heli-One solution is a joystick extension to enable better feel and control for the operator, enabling more precise aircraft positioning and movement.
The original thumb stick (an example shown in the inset photo) is difficult to use in typical mission conditions with proper safety equipment on. This user-friendly joystick adaptation facilitates precise movements during operations.
