Description
Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus Edition
The Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus edition is a realistic throttle system designed for PC flight simulation, inspired by the controls of the Airbus A320neo.
Officially licensed by Airbus, it features dual thrust levers, authentic detents and a built-in thrust reverser for true airliner functionality.
Powered by H.E.A.R.T magnetic sensor technology, it delivers precise, contactless 16-bit input for smooth and reliable control.
With a total of 16 programmable inputs and seamless integration into the Thrustmaster ecosystem, this quadrant is ideal for immersive civil aviation simulation.
Key features

Authentic Airbus throttle experience
The Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant Airbus edition is designed to replicate the throttle controls of Airbus airliner controls (A320), delivering a true commercial aviation experience.
Featuring dual thrust levers, it allows independent engine control for realistic flight management.
The quadrant includes iconic Airbus detents such as idle, climb and take-off positions, enabling precise throttle adjustments during different flight phases.
These tactile markers provide a more intuitive experience, especially during take-off and landing sequences.
For multi-engine aircraft like the Airbus A380, multiple quadrants can be linked together to simulate four-engine setups, making it highly scalable for advanced users.
Magnetic precision and smooth performance
Equipped with Thrustmaster’s H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology), the TCA Quadrant airbus edition offers exceptional precision and durability. This contactless magnetic sensor system eliminates mechanical wear and ensures consistent performance over time.
With 16-bit resolution, the throttle inputs are captured with extreme accuracy, allowing smooth transitions between thrust levels. This is particularly important during critical flight stages such as descent, approach and taxiing.
The result is a highly responsive throttle system that maintains accuracy even after extended use, making it suitable for both casual and serious sim pilots.
Seamless integration with Thrustmaster ecosystem
Designed as part of the Thrustmaster Civil Aviation (TCA) ecosystem, this throttle quadrant integrates seamlessly with compatible devices such as Airbus sidesticks, rudder pedals and mounting systems.
Its modular design allows users to expand their setup over time, creating a complete Airbus cockpit environment. Whether you’re building a compact desktop setup or a full flight simulator rig, the TCA Quadrant provides a flexible foundation.
It’s fully compatible with major PC flight simulators including Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane, ensuring broad usability across different platforms.
Who is the Thrustmaster TCA quadrant airbus edition for?
- Airbus simulation enthusiasts seeking realistic throttle controls
- PC pilots using Microsoft Flight Simulator or X-Plane
- Users building a modular Airbus cockpit setup
- Beginners upgrading from basic throttle controls
- Sim pilots wanting precise and immersive engine management
- Content creators showcasing civil aviation simulation setups
