The Captain's Sidestick, for Your Sim

The MOZA Airbus MA3F is an officially licensed recreation of the left-hand sidestick used from the Airbus captain's seat. It pairs the classic Airbus grip shape and button layout with a removable five-way hat switch, two mappable side buttons and a lightweight, rigid composite grip rated to a 30 kg static load.

It locks onto a MOZA AB9 or AB6 force feedback base through a 5-pin aviation connector and an aluminium locking ring, and you map all nine inputs in MOZA Cockpit. If you fly the A320 family or the A350 from the left seat, this is the grip that makes your desk feel like the flight deck.

    Officially licensed by Airbus, not a look-alike airliner stick.

  • The captain's side

  • Two looks in one

    A removable five-way hat switch, with a magnetic cover for the clean Airbus style.

  • Nine mappable inputs

    Five physical controls, including two side buttons, for nine inputs across your aircraft.

  • Light but strong

    A 232 g composite grip rated by MOZA to a 30 kg static load.

  • Locked solid to the base

    An aluminium alloy locking ring and top-mounted locking screw reduce looseness and unwanted movement.

Compatibility

Which bases does it fit?

The MA3F is a grip only. MOZA lists it for its AB6 and AB9 force feedback flight bases, connected through a 5-pin aviation connector, and it is used on PC.

Flight base Connection Notes
MOZA AB9 Active Force Feedback Base 5-pin aviation connector MOZA's stronger flight base. Mount it with the MOZA Flight Base Table Clamp or a cockpit.
MOZA AB6 force feedback base, as in the MOZA AB6 Flight Simulator Bundle 5-pin aviation connector The bundle comes with the MHG flightstick, so the MA3F adds an Airbus grip you can swap to.
Other brands' flight bases Not listed by MOZA MOZA only lists AB6 and AB9 support. Ask us before ordering for any other base.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the MOZA Airbus MA3F sidestick?
It is a flight sim sidestick grip made by MOZA and officially licensed by Airbus. It recreates the left-hand sidestick used from the Airbus captain's seat, with nine mappable inputs, a removable five-way hat switch with a magnetic cover and a lightweight, rigid composite grip.
Is it an official Airbus product?
Yes. The MA3F is officially licensed by Airbus and carries authentic Airbus design details.
Is it a complete joystick?
No, it is a grip only. It needs a MOZA AB6 or AB9 force feedback flight base, which provides the movement, force feedback and the USB connection to your PC.
Which bases does it work with?
MOZA lists the MA3F for its AB6 and AB9 force feedback flight bases, connected through a 5-pin aviation connector. We stock the MOZA AB9 Active Force Feedback Base and the MOZA AB6 Flight Simulator Bundle.
Will it fit a VIRPIL, Thrustmaster or WinWing base?
MOZA only lists support for its own AB6 and AB9 bases, so we do not recommend it for other brands' bases. If you already own another base, message us and we will help you choose the right grip.
Is it left-handed or right-handed?
It is modelled on the left-hand sidestick used from the Airbus captain's seat, so it is shaped for your left hand, with the stick on the left of your seat as in the real flight deck.
How many buttons does it have?
Five physical controls provide nine button inputs. These include a removable five-way hat switch and two side buttons on the left of the grip, and every input can be mapped in MOZA Cockpit.
What is the removable hat switch for?
The five-way hat switch cap can be removed with the included tool and replaced with the magnetic cover. Keep the hat fitted for extra mappable controls, or fit the cover for a more authentic Airbus-style look.
How strong is the grip?
It is made from a lightweight, high-strength composite for rigidity, wear resistance and durability, and MOZA Lab rates it to withstand a static load of up to 30 kg. The grip weighs 232 g.
How does it attach to the base?
It plugs into the base's 5-pin aviation connector, then an aluminium alloy locking ring and a top-mounted locking screw hold it in place to reduce looseness and unwanted movement. A locking wrench is included.
What software does it use?
MOZA Cockpit. With the grip connected through a compatible base, you can check its status, map buttons and manage simulator profiles.
Does it work on Xbox or PlayStation?
MOZA lists PC as the supported platform for the MA3F, so treat it as a PC grip.
Which simulators can I use it with?
It connects to your PC through your MOZA base, so you map its inputs in your PC flight simulator's controls settings like any other flight controller. Message us if you want a hand with a specific simulator, aircraft or add-on.
Should I buy the MA3F or the MA3X?
Choose the MA3F if you fly Airbus airliners and want the licensed captain's sidestick on a MOZA AB6 or AB9. The MOZA MA3X Sidestick is a MOZA design with up to 12 input signals that MOZA lists for all its bases and most third-party bases.
What should I pair it with for an Airbus setup?
A MOZA force feedback base, a throttle such as the MOZA MTQ Throttle Quadrant, which MOZA says can swap between Boeing, Airbus and fighter-jet throttle styles, and MOZA MRP Rudder Pedals.
What is in the box?
The MA3F sidestick, a magnetic hat switch cover, a hat switch removal tool, a locking wrench and the user manual. The flight base is sold separately.
What warranty does it come with in Australia?
As an authorised Australian dealer for MOZA, Player1 Sim Gear handles warranty locally in Queensland with no overseas returns required, backed by Australian Consumer Law.
Do you offer free shipping in Australia?
Yes. MOZA products ship free Australia wide, with freight from our Queensland base.
Is the price in AUD and does it include GST?
Yes, the price shown is in Australian dollars and includes GST, from a local authorised MOZA dealer with no hidden import fees.
