Within Infinite Flight's fleet, the A220-300 is the airliner that still feels like an airplane. It is lighter on its feet than the long-haul giants, it climbs away from short runways with energy to spare, and it settles onto final at speeds that leave you room to think. That agility is wasted on a flat pane of glass — it comes alive when roll and pitch live in your wrist instead.

This jet began life as the Bombardier CSeries CS300, a clean-sheet design that joined the Airbus family in 2018 and took the A220-300 name with it. Under each wing hangs a Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofan — the gearbox lets the big fan turn slower than the core behind it, which is a large part of why the cabin is famously hushed and the fuel burn famously thin. With 130 to 160 seats down a single aisle, it is the airplane carriers reach for on thin medium-haul routes where a larger jet would fly half-empty: real range, sipped slowly.

Real TCAS, real resolutions. When traffic closes in, the scope over the yoke pad calls a genuine resolution advisory.

And it is flown like a thoroughly modern Airbus — sidesticks, fly-by-wire, small deliberate inputs. Which is exactly where a handheld controller stops being a compromise and starts being the point.

SkyYoke gives you two grips on the stick. Motion Yoke reads the gravity vector against a neutral you choose, so the hold is up to you — phone flat on your lap like a wrist resting on the armrest, or raised upright in front of you. There is no gimbal lock, the full-deflection tilt range adjusts from 15° to 60°, and a one-tap recenter captures a fresh neutral whenever you shift in your seat. Prefer to keep the phone still? Touch Joystick draws a self-centering pad on the glass that tracks your thumb 1:1 and springs back to center the instant you let go.

SkyYoke on-device AI voice copilot flying a spoken command for the Airbus A220-300
Talk to your copilot. Speak a natural command — like “landing gear up” — and the on-device AI flies it.

Every axis — pitch, roll, yaw and brake — carries its own conditioning:

  • Sensitivity to decide how much jet you get per degree of wrist.
  • Dead zone and expo for a soft center that firms up toward the stops — the closest a phone gets to fly-by-wire manners.
  • Inversion, trim and smoothing to match your hand and quiet any jitter.

Dial it in once and the feel travels with you when you step up to the bigger A320. Underneath, a 60 Hz control loop with change-detection and rate limiting keeps the link crisp, and a watchdog reconnects automatically if your network blinks.

Six gates, one thumb: the Airbus thrust lever

  1. TOGAFull takeoff / go-around thrust at the top gate.

  3. CLBThe climb detent — set it and leave it.
  4. IDLEBack to idle; every gate buzzes a haptic click.
  5. REVPull past idle for reverse thrust on the runway.

Load an Airbus and SkyYoke's smart throttle changes shape on its own. The smooth slider becomes a gated quadrant — REV FULL / REV / IDLE / CLIMB / FLX·MCT / TOGA — and every gate crossing lands as a haptic tick in your palm. A takeoff in the A220-300 means pushing up through CLIMB and feeling the click into FLX·MCT or TOGA; a touchdown means walking the lever back to IDLE and pulling through into reverse.

V-speeds, done for you. Weight, weather and runway come from the sim; spoken V1 · Rotate · V2 callouts arm automatically.

The lever also knows where you are. Infinite Flight requires reverse thrust to be held, so on the rollout at 40 kts or more the red zone holds it for you; below 40 kts the same pull becomes proportional wheel braking for the taxi in. Airborne, reverse is blocked outright behind a warning banner and a repeating haptic, so a slip of the thumb can never deploy it. The whole lever recolors by role — blue and green for forward thrust, amber for braking, red for reverse — so a glance tells you what your hand is commanding.

Glass-cockpit aids while you fly it

Hand-flying is the point, but the numbers stay in reach. A HUD strip shows live IAS, altitude, heading and vertical-speed chips, a ground/air phase chip and a spoiler annunciator. Behind it sits an Airbus-style PFD: a speed tape with a trend arrow and an altitude tape, both wearing cyan selected-value bugs, so the picture reads the way an Airbus flight deck taught you to read it.

TCAS traffic scope

An Airbus-ND-style scope over the yoke pad, fed by live multiplayer traffic — diamonds, amber advisories, red resolution advisories, with spoken callouts.

V-speed callouts

Arm them on the Performance screen and SkyYoke speaks V1, Rotate and V2 during the roll — estimates scaled by weight and density altitude.

Violation avoidance

Below 10,000 ft with the autopilot on, VAS can clamp the speed target to 250 kts or manage descent energy, with annunciators and spoken alerts.

Be clear-eyed about what these are: the TCAS scope and its advisories are simulator display aids, not certified avionics, and the Violation Avoidance System is an aid, never a guarantee. They make the A220-300 nicer to fly — they do not fly it for you.

From gate to gate in five steps

  1. Share a network. Put your iPhone and the device running Infinite Flight on the same Wi-Fi.
  2. Switch on Infinite Flight Connect in the simulator's settings — SkyYoke then discovers it on the network automatically.
  3. Bind the axes once in Infinite Flight's Controllers settings; the in-app setup guide walks you through roll, pitch, throttle and yaw.
  4. Load the A220-300 from Infinite Flight's fleet. SkyYoke recognizes the Airbus type and the gated detent lever appears by itself.
  5. Fly. Wrist for the stick, thumb for the gates, rudder bar for the centerline.
One honest note: SkyYoke is an independent, unofficial app. Aircraft availability and features inside Infinite Flight — including the A220-300 itself — are determined by Infinite Flight, not by SkyYoke, and every performance figure or V-speed the app shows is a simulator estimate only, never for real-world flight.

常見問題

Flying the A220-300 with an iPhone sidestick, answered.

What is the best joystick for the Airbus A220-300 in Infinite Flight?+

The most natural fit is the phone already in your hand. SkyYoke turns an iPhone into a wireless sidestick for Infinite Flight over your home Wi-Fi: tilt to roll and pitch, or use an on-screen self-centering pad. Because the real A220-300 is flown with a sidestick rather than a yoke, a handheld controller mirrors the actual control feel — and there is no hardware to buy, charge or pair.

Why does a phone sidestick suit the A220-300 so well?+

The A220-300 has a modern fly-by-wire flight deck flown with small one-handed sidestick inputs. SkyYoke's Motion Yoke reads gravity rather than raw angles, so it works flat on your lap or held upright, with a tilt range adjustable from 15 to 60 degrees, per-axis sensitivity, expo curves and one-tap recentering. Small wrist movements become smooth roll and pitch — the same philosophy the real flight deck is built on.

Does SkyYoke give the A220-300 the Airbus thrust detents?+

Yes, automatically. On Airbus types the throttle becomes a gated quadrant — REV FULL, REV, IDLE, CLIMB, FLX-MCT and TOGA — with a haptic tick at every gate crossing. On the rollout at 40 kts or above, pulling into the red zone engages held reverse thrust for you; below 40 kts the same zone becomes proportional wheel braking. In the air, reverse is blocked with a warning.

Can I get V1, Rotate and V2 callouts for an A220-300 takeoff?+

Yes. Arm takeoff callouts from SkyYoke's Performance screen, which estimates V-speeds from built-in airliner performance profiles scaled by your current weight and the density altitude, and checks that the runway is long enough. During the takeoff roll the calls are spoken once per departure and re-arm automatically for the next leg. They are simulator estimates only and never for real-world use.

Is the A220-300 available in Infinite Flight, and is SkyYoke official?+

The A220-300 is part of Infinite Flight's fleet; which aircraft exist in the simulator and what features they carry is determined entirely by Infinite Flight. SkyYoke is an independent, unofficial companion app that connects over your local Wi-Fi using Infinite Flight's public Connect API. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Infinite Flight LLC or Airbus.
