Side Stick Sensor
The Side Stick Sensor is a critical component of the F-16’s advanced flight control system, enabling precise pilot input through its fly-by-wire interface. Housed within the right console of the cockpit, this sensor translates minimal pilot pressure on the control stick into electrical signals, ensuring rapid response and fine handling. Built for rugged use, the sensor utilizes strain-gauge or capacitive sensing technology that detects linear and lateral stick deflections with extreme fidelity and minimal delay.
This unit features redundant output channels and low-drift electronics, maintaining control reliability under varying thermal and electrical conditions. Its compact design includes sealed enclosures to shield against dust, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. Internally, the mechanical centering system ensures tactile feedback, while the sensor’s output calibration remains consistent across flight cycles. Integrated connectors allow for quick plug-in replacement during ground maintenance without recalibrating the entire flight control chain.
The Side Stick Sensor is used by pilots to maneuver the F-16 during all flight phases—from taxiing to supersonic dogfights. It is a cornerstone of the aircraft’s digital flight interface, feeding inputs directly to the Flight Control Computer, which commands actuator systems accordingly. Its sensitivity and precision are especially vital in high-G and combat situations, where subtle stick movements translate to critical aerial outcomes.
Trusted and supported by Tactical Supply Pakistan, this sensor meets strict NATO and OEM compliance standards and is a flight-worthy, serviceable component. Each unit undergoes rigorous electrical and functional testing to verify performance under simulated flight conditions.
Can the Sensor be repaired, or must it be fully replaced?
While minor wiring issues can sometimes be resolved, sensor degradation or drift typically requires full unit replacement to maintain flight control accuracy
