FCS Flight Simulator Seat

The Trak Racer FCS Flight Simulator Seat is a dedicated aviation cockpit seat developed in collaboration with Airbus for immersive home flight simulation, commercial training, and military flight simulator setups. Its integrated HOTAS cut-out, dual-sided recline system, and cold-moulded foam provide stable control positioning and long-session comfort.

KEY BENEFITS

• Supports realistic flight control positioning with an integrated HOTAS cut-out
• Reduces backrest movement and side-to-side flex with dual-sided recline locking
• Provides ergonomic support for long flight simulation and training sessions
• Fits pilots with a recommended waist size of 28 to 44 inches
• Integrates with Trak Racer cockpits and other compatible T-slot simulator frames
• Combines a reinforced steel frame with cold-moulded foam for durability and support
• Includes arm rests and a seat bracket set for cockpit installation
• Supports fore-and-aft adjustment when paired with optional seat sliders

WHO IT'S FOR

The Trak Racer FCS is designed for beginner through advanced flight simulation enthusiasts, home cockpit builders, commercial simulator operators, and professional training environments. It is particularly well suited to general aviation, airliner, military, and HOTAS flight simulator setups where seating position, control access, stability, and long-session comfort matter.

KEY FEATURES

Developed in collaboration with Airbus, the FCS uses a dedicated aviation-focused seating design rather than adapting a conventional racing seat. An integrated HOTAS cut-out supports practical joystick and throttle positioning, while the dual-sided steel recline system locks the backrest from both sides to reduce twisting and rocking under sustained control inputs. A welded tubular steel frame, reinforced shoulder structure, cross-braced base, and high-density cold-moulded foam provide a supportive platform for extended simulator sessions. Premium PU leather and suede upholstery combines a clean cockpit appearance with a surface designed for repeated use and easy maintenance.

REAL-WORLD USE / EXPERIENCE

In a flight simulator, the dual-sided recline system helps keep the backrest stable when working the controls for extended periods, reducing the twisting and rocking associated with some single-sided recliner designs. The integrated HOTAS cut-out gives builders more flexibility when positioning flight controls close to the body, while the cold-moulded foam and ergonomic lumbar support make the seat better suited to longer flights and training sessions. For multi-user simulators, the adjustable backrest and optional seat sliders also make it easier to accommodate different pilots without rebuilding the cockpit around each seating position.
