Schuwirth Trainer Quadrant

The Schuwirth Trainer Quadrant is a glider-specific control quadrant designed to deliver a realistic, training-oriented simulation experience. It has been developed for use with soaring simulators such as Condor Soaring Simulator and is based on functional requirements defined in collaboration with the Soaring Society of America (SSA).

Unlike generic simulation peripherals, this quadrant directly replicates the essential controls of a real glider, supporting procedural learning, exercise repetition, and instructor-led training.

Training-oriented design: each control is designed to be intuitive, robust, and consistent with real glider operation, allowing pilots and students to focus on procedures rather than on the interface itself. Particularly well suited for initial and recurrent training, normal and emergency procedure practice, instructor-led demonstrations, and home simulators with a strong training focus.

Main unit:

• Spoiler lever — progressive spoiler control with an integrated wheel brake button at the end of travel.
• Trim control — circular-motion trim lever for fine, continuous adjustment.
• Flaps control — single three-position rocker switch (Flaps Up / Neutral / Flaps Down; neutral does not trigger a button).
• Release handle — dedicated release control integrated into the main unit.

Instructor remote (included):

• Spoiler override — allows the instructor to override spoiler position during an exercise.
• Emergency release button — for emergency and abnormal procedure simulation.
• Programmable button — assignable depending on simulator configuration and training needs.

The instructor remote is optional in use and does not interfere with normal quadrant operation when not connected.

USB HID device, plug & play, compatible with PC simulators supporting USB HID inputs. Depending on your system setup, initial Windows controller calibration and in-simulator control binding may be required.

Designed and manufactured by Schuwirth in France. Small-batch production — each unit is individually assembled and tested.
