Latitude is not just a name, it’s a statement. Saying that our throttle quadrant sets the new standard is inadequate. It defines the next generation of flight sim hardware and features innovations that surpass everything launched in the last decade, combined.

The hybrid design of the configurable ModulAIR Avionics Suite offers compatibility across all Boeing, Airbus, and General Aviation Aircraft and includes 10 additional expansion bays for future avionics and throttle upgrades, as well as an optional mouse pad platform. Our Sentient FlightDeck Intelligence™ (SFI),  monitors and detects any changes to the cockpit setup and automatically configures the simulator for the avionics and throttle axis, making the frustration of loading, setting up, and configuring aircraft profiles a thing of the past. Add to that the two cross-component, synchronized sensory feedback systems that are integrated into the aviation-grade aluminum frame, and you see why the press called the Latitude Plus truly revolutionary. It’s much more than a throttle quadrant. It’s a high-fidelity aeronautical experience that bridges the gap between flight simulation and real aviation. A throttle quadrant that we are very proud of and truly lives its name, Latitude – aiming for the top of the world.

Throttle Quadrant

throttle Quadrant Module

The removable Latitude Plus throttle assembly is built around a modular core, features an industry-leading 160 mm diameter, with a total available axis travel range of 135°, enabling the included axis covers as well as aftermarket products to accurately replicate position, travel distance, and angle on each axis for every type of aircraft. The included lever sets accurately replicate the function, size, and feel of each lever, while the Quick‑swap magnetic faceplates enable you to change between Airbus, Boeing, and GA configurations in seconds, providing an unparalleled level of realism.

Quantum Leap

The state-of-the-art QuantumLeap™ High Definition TMR sensors operate on a sub-atomic level, using Quantum Mechanics to provide a lifetime of durability and calibration‑free accuracy, beyond the limit of existing Hall Effect sensors. The solid steel lever shaft is engineered with an adjustable friction clutch to emulate the weight and feel in the real cockpit.

Immersive Flight Experience

Sentient
Sentient FlightDeck Intelligence™

Sentient Flightdeck Intelligence™, our onboard monitoring system, continuously reviews the sensor reporting status, including the throttle axis and avionics configuration. If the Avionics and/or Throttle Axis are reconfigured, the system will detect and verify the new setup and reconfigure the simulator to the new configuration automatically. This ensures perfectly aligned throttle axis and detent calibration, as well as the activation of all avionics functions in the active panel, compatible with the loaded aircraft.

Part of Sentient Flightdeck Intelligence™ is also our aircraft profile assurance program, managed by our team of pilots and flight sim specialists, who meticulously craft and calibrate each aircraft profile in SFI to perfectly align lever throw/arm on each axis to the axis covers and detent position, ensuring that loading and changing profiles when swapping aircraft is a completely hands-off experience.

Any profile can still be customized in the simulator, like programming the toggle panel functions. Once the profile is saved, the system will adapt the changes and load the modified profile when the same configuration is detected again. That’s FlightDeck™ Intelligence. Sentient instead of artificial.

ambient
Aurora™ Ambient Light — Cockpit in Color

The Aurora™ Ambient Light panel transforms your flight deck with customizable ambient lighting. Enhance the colors to runway edge lights, taxiway guidance, beacon strobes or storms to mirror the world outside, or choose your own palette for mood lighting during cruise. Aurora™ synchronizes the Ambient Light between the Horizon Plus Flight Controls and throttle to produce one combined optical feedback system.

impulse

Impulse™ Dual‑Phase
Haptic Feedback System

The Impulse™ Dual‑Phase Haptic Feedback System uses two independent actuators. The low‑frequency vibration motor reproduces tremors like engine rumble, ground roll, and airframe buffeting, while the high‑speed impact actuator delivers crisp bumps for touchdown, flap and gear transitions, trim changes and turbulence.

Our TouchDownSense™ and AeroVibe™ algorithms blend these signals in real time to match aircraft type, flight phase, and events like an actuator bump from turbulence in combination with after-tremors from the vibration motor, giving your hands authentic cues from takeoff to landing.

Flight-Deck Control System

Labels

Toggle Panel with Magnetic Labels & 3 Avionics Expansion Bays

The toggle panel combines configurable 2 position rocker toggles with magnetic labels so you can assign landing lights, fuel pumps, de‑ice boots, APU and more. A row of three avionics expansion bays accepts future modules, and every switch features positive detents for the satisfying feel of real aircraft hardware.

Gear Lever

3-Position Gear Lever with Lock

The three‑position gear lever incorporates a spring‑loaded lever lock just like the real aircraft. Up, Off and Down positions are weighted for realistic inertia and have audible detents. Integrated Gear indicator lights provide visual confirmation of the state of the gear position.

Indicator Light Strip & Parking Brake with Swapping Levers

The left side of the throttle includes an LED pitch trim indicator light strip. The brake module features authentic lever heads that swap between Boeing‑style, Airbus and GA‑round grips, which attach via a magnetic coupling. An LED “ON” indicator is integrated into the trim display, so you always know when the brake is set.

trim wheel

Trim Wheel

The pitch trim wheel assembly uses a two‑part design. The left wheel spins freely for manual trim input, while the right wheel performs as a tightening lever to adjust friction. Both attach magnetically to allow easy swapping of different style trim wheels.  The left wheel can be upgraded with our Servo Motor Upgrade Kit. The weighted construction replicates the rotation, servo whir, and feedback found in real trim systems.

Servo Motor Upgrade Kit

Servo Motor Upgrade Kit

The Servo Motor Upgrade Kit is also compatible with throttle axis, 1 through 5, enabling the throttles and speed brake to move automatically in sync with your simulator. Each channel uses a dedicated servo and integrated digital controllers for smooth, whisper‑quiet motion and precise position reporting. Motorized travel includes realistic resistance and detents, giving you tactile confirmation when the auto‑throttle engages or speed brakes deploy. The servos are sold individually so you can upgrade each throttle as your budget allows. The servos are identical, so you can swap between the trim wheel, speed brake and throttle axis as your needs require without having to invest in multiple motors all at once. With 4 motors, you can transform the Latitude Plus into a fully motorized flight control unit for twin engine airliners including auto‑throttle and auto‑brake functions. Upgrading to all 6 servos provide full motorization for the Queen of the Skies and other compatible 4 engine aircraft.

Servo Motor Upgrade Kit

USB‑C Hub & Under‑Table Mount Attachment Points

  • Integrated USB‑C hub provides data and power for additional panels (optional 5 V AC adapter plugs into the rear).
  • Premium leather‑textured surfaces for a refined cockpit feel.
  • CAM locks for quick attachment and detachment to the table mount.
  • Integrated storage compartment inside the base for throttle panels and levers.

Mounting Options

Table Mount

Table Mount
(Included)

The included heavy duty table mount features dual aluminum T-plates that slide into the bottom of the throttle base and lock into position, using the quick‑release CAM locks on each side of the base. You can secure the throttle to your desk without tools using the included solid metal clamps. Alternatively, it can be secured to the table, or fix mounted, using the 4 recessed screw mounts.

Under Table Mount

Under‑Table Mount
(Sold Separately)

Our under‑table mount screws into the underside of your desk to provide a flush and unobstructive mounting option that doesn’t get in the way when the desk is used for other purposes. The lowered position of the mount provides a more true-to-life cockpit environment and better ergonomics, while keeping the desktop unobstructed and clutter‑free in the process. The integrated USB‑C passthrough connector aligns with the USB-C hub on the back of the metal frame and automatically connects the throttle to your PC when docking. The flexible fore and aft positioning of the mount lets you tailor ergonomics to your seating position, making this mount ideal for dedicated rigs and custom cockpits.

Clamp Kit

Under‑Table Mount Clamp Kit
(Sold Separately)

For desks where drilling isn’t an option, the Under‑Table Mount Clamp Kit attaches onto the Table Mount, while utilizing the standard steel clamps from the included table mount to secure the under‑table rails. The Kit provides a tool‑free solution to attach the mount to most surfaces without permanent modification. The included tabletop platform replaces the obstructed mounting points for avionics and, together with the clamp covers, provides a clean finish and transition between the Latitude and Latitude Plus Flight Controls.
