A mounting system for an operator control implement comprises a manipulation tube which defines a first axis and upon one end of which an operator control implement is adapted to be mounted. The manipulation tube extends through a housing within which a first clutch assembly is disposed, and in conjunction with which there is disposed a first cam member. A first fixed support member defines a second axis, and a second support member is rotatably mounted upon the first support member. The second support member is fixedly mounted upon the housing, and a second clutch assembly is interposed between the first and second support members. When the manipulation tube is rotated around the first axis, the first cam member causes the first clutch assembly to effectively permit the manipulation tube to go from a LOCKED state to a RELEASED state such that the manipulation tube can undergo axial movements along the first axis, and similarly, the second cam member causes the second clutch assembly to effectively permit the second support member to go from a LOCKED state to a RELEASED state such that the manipulation tube can undergo rotational movements around the second axis. The operator control implement can thus be adjustably positioned with respect to an operator station so as to render the implement accessible to a pilot or operator regardless of the stature of the pilot or operator.
