SkyYoke Wiki
The complete guide to SkyYoke, the iPhone app that turns your phone into a yoke, throttle and cockpit panel for Infinite Flight. Setup, every feature and troubleshooting.
SkyYoke turns an iPhone into a physical flight controller for the Infinite Flight simulator. Tilt the phone to bank and pitch, slide the throttle, and run the autopilot, lights, gear, flaps, checklists and more from the phone, while Infinite Flight runs on an iPad or another device on the same Wi-Fi.

What SkyYoke does#
- Flies the aircraft. Use the phone as a tilt yoke or an on-screen joystick, with a throttle lever, rudder and reverse thrust. See Motion Yoke and Touch Joystick.
- Runs the cockpit. Gear, flaps, spoilers, trim, parking brake, lights, engines and more, plus a full autopilot panel with Airbus-style managed and open modes.
- Shows real displays. An Airbus A320 or Boeing 777 style primary flight display, engine display and navigation display, and a TCAS traffic radar. See Cockpit displays.
- Keeps you safe and realistic. V-speed, TCAS, windshear and terrain callouts, a Violation Avoidance System for the 250 kt speed limit, aircraft-specific checklists with a spoken co-pilot, and a performance calculator.
- Helps on the ground. A moving map, hands-free Auto Taxi and a virtual passenger Cabin.
- Talks with you. Answer Infinite Flight ATC from the phone and set the autopilot by voice with the AI Voice Commander.
Unofficial app
SkyYoke is an independent app. It is not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by Infinite Flight LLC. It talks to Infinite Flight through the official Infinite Flight Connect feature that Infinite Flight provides for external controllers.
