Flight Stand Pro

The Next Level Racing® Flight Stand Pro is a floor stand that holds your yoke, HOTAS, throttles and rudder pedals in front of a seat or gaming chair. It is for pilots who fly commercial, general aviation, military, space or helicopter setups and want one frame that adapts to all of them.

One stand, many cockpits

You arrange the stand around the way you fly. A center HOTAS mounting pole adjusts for height and angle, which gives you a true military layout with a center stick. For commercial flying, remove that pole and attach yokes, rudders and throttles straight to the frame. There is also an optional setup for extended HOTAS sticks.

For general aviation, several adaptor plates are provided so electronics from different makers can bolt on directly. Space pilots can use the included keyboard and mouse tray to hold two joysticks, with the keyboard and mouse still close at hand.

The deck is wide and pre-drilled. That lets you fit a broad mix of flight peripherals from other manufacturers beside your main controls. Flight Plates suit a wide range of throttles and HOTAS units, and a clamp plate makes yokes and accessories quick to attach.

Adjustment ranges

• HOTAS angle bracket: 95 degrees of adjustment
• Flight arm: 78mm of horizontal and 103mm of lateral travel
• Left flight arm: swings out up to 49 degrees so you can get in and out easily
• Wheel plate: 4mm thick, with 196mm of height and 48 degrees of angle adjustment
• Flight plate: 3mm thick
• Rudder pedal plate: angle, height and lateral adjustment on a wide frame that takes many pedal sets
• Swivel flight arm and mouse/keyboard holder: angle adjustable, so controls stay within reach on long flights

Together these let you fine-tune every control to the position that feels right to you.

Use it with a gaming chair or the Flight Seat Pro

The stand works with a chair you already own. The included four-point Gaming Chair Cradle locks your chair in place and stops it rolling backward when you press the rudders. Castor wheels let you move the stand around, which helps in smaller rooms.

Add the Next Level Racing® Flight Seat Pro, sold separately, and the stand becomes the full Flight Simulator Pro cockpit. Joined together, the two support up to 150 kg or 330 lbs. The seat has a cut-out so the HOTAS center stick can mount directly to the center stick arm and plate for a combat layout. With the seat attached, yokes, rudders and throttles for a commercial layout bolt straight onto the cockpit.

Motion ready

The Flight Stand Pro works with the Next Level Racing® Motion Plus Platform and Motion Platform V3. For motion use, the Flight Seat Pro has to be connected to the stand.

Built on flight experience

Next Level Racing has built flight setups for demanding users for years. The brand has supplied flight cockpits to NASA®, Boeing®, the Bristol University Department of Aerospace Engineering, Australian & British Air Force Cadets, Saitek®, the Oshkosh Air Show and European Pilot of the Year James Moon, among others. Its flight products are modular, so each user can shape them to fit. The company says thousands of people around the world use its flight simulators for training and entertainment, and it draws on feedback from customers globally.
