A control column 102,104 for an aircraft, which may have an active feedback mechanism, has a passive feedback arrangement 112,114, a stick 108,110 and a ground lock mechanism 180,182. The passive feedback arrangement 112,114 is moveable relative to a mechanical ground 159 to adjust a feedback profile provided to the stick 108,110. The stick 108,110 is movable relative to the mechanical ground 159 and the passive feedback arrangement 112,114. A ground lock mechanism 180,182 has a locked state in which the passive feedback arrangement 112,114 is maintained in a fixed position relative to the mechanical ground 159. The ground lock mechanism 180,182 also has a normal state in which the passive feedback arrangement 112,114 is permitted to move relative to the mechanical ground 159 which provides a form of active feedback to the stick 108,110. |
