SAS and paddle switch in the A-10C Manual

[buedi]

Hi everyone,

 

I´m reading through the A-10C manual (in the A-10 "docs" folder).

I´m on page 449 at Figure 337 "SAS and anti-skid Switch".

 

It reads:

Engage all SAS and anti-skid. Press the paddle switch on the control stick to confirm all SAS

and Anti-skid disengage. Engage all SAS for remainder of flight.

 

Does somebody know what is meant with the "paddle switch on the control stick"? Although the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog has a paddle on the front of the stick, there´s no paddle modeled in the A-10C and so I think that a real A-10C does not have a paddle on the stick either.

 

Is the manual describing a function here which is not existing in the real Aircraft or do they mean another "paddle"?

Yes there is. If you look down the stick, there is a yellow paddle.

 

$You can see it here:

Thank you very much. The Pictures I searched for stopped at around the hand rest, so I could not see it. And after reading the manual I should have fired up DCS on my own first and tried to slew left / right to see the backside of the Stick in the Sim too, then i should have seen hat :doh:
