What Does HOTASC Stand For?

HOTASC stands for Hands On Throttle And Stick Controls

HOTASC, or Hands On Throttle And Stick Controls, refers to a control configuration in aviation and simulation environments that allows pilots and operators to maintain direct control over both throttle and flight controls simultaneously. This ergonomic setup enhances response times and precision, facilitating more intuitive management of aircraft dynamics and improving overall operational efficiency during complex maneuvers.
