Yoke: A flight control operated by pushing and pulling with hands in fixed-wing aircraft, primarily to control pitch or altitude with the elevators.
The forefinger is behind the yoke for back pressure and the thumb is for forward pressure. You cannot feel the pressures requiring trim if a heavier touch is used. Tension is the greatest single cause of a full tight grip.
Yoke Flanges: No Cracks
Gearbox Teletemp: Normal
In the above picture, above the yellow decal you can see an orange strip of paper on the transmission. This is a Teletemp.
Yoke The control wheel of an aircraft, operated much like a car's steering wheel. It is used to control the ailerons and elevator.
YOKE - The control wheel of an aircraft, akin to a automobile steering wheel.

The Yoke's On You
Sticks are better because they're more intuitive, and they make it easier to use full control deflection when needed.
YOKE CUE
A vertical flight director cue for fixed-wing aircraft, primarily to control altitude, by changing pitch; Compare: collective cue; Symbols: Gamma sub ...
A yoke or joystick, which controls rotation of the aircraft about the pitch and roll axes. A yoke resembles a kind of steering wheel, and a control stick is just a simple rod with a handgrip.
The yoke (in conjunction with trim) controls angle of attack, and hence determines airspeed. Airspeed is linked to altitude via the law of the roller-coaster and via the power curve.
The throttle controls power.
The trunnion is splined to the mast and has two bearings through which it is secured to the yoke. The blades are mounted to the yoke and are free to teeter (flap) around the trunnion bearings.
I'll not belabor this point (and I know old habits are hard to change), but in my books I have consistently recommended using the keypad or keyboard yoke (in preference to the mouse or joystick), if such is provided by your version.
One instructor suggested that I grip the microphone and yoke simultaneously with my left hand, leaving my right hand free to manipulate the throttle, carburetor heat, and flaps. That disturbed my already uncertain yoke technique.
The aircraft does not slip (important when fuel levels are getting low), all available stick/yoke control for counteracting turbulence is available and you and the passengers do not lean sideways. Everybody sits comfortable.
I had the airplane under control, but I knew that I could not hold the yoke like this for too long. The magic solution came when I decided to use my knees to counteract the pressure, and to use my hands to fly the airplane.
Relax your death grip on the yoke and the stall will abate instantly. Aileron control is maintained all the way through the stall.
Jessica was impressed by the electric trim on the Skyhawk's yoke, primarily because she's been obliged to use manual trim as a student pilot. 'I kept forgetting and reaching for the trim wheel,' she laughed.

The JN-2, somewhat deficient in performance, had had equal wing spans with ailerons controlled by a shoulder yoke located in the rear cockpit.
Thus, if a pilot rotates the control yoke or stick, to the left, the left aileron deflects upward and the right aileron defects downward, causing the aircraft to roll, or bank, to the left.
NOTE: A common error that affects the compass' accuracy is the mounting of a compass or instruments on or in the instrument panel using steel machine screws/nuts rather than brass hardware, magnetized control yoke, structural tubing, ...
BALANCED CONTROL SURFACE - A movable control surface, as an aileron or rudder, having an added physical extension or weights forward of the hinge-point to reduce forces on a joystick or yoke and to lessen the chance for aerodynamic FLUTTER.
AILERONS An aircraft control surface hinged to the rear, outer section of the wing for banking ("tilting") the aircraft. A bank causes an aircraft to turn. Controlled by right or left movement of the control yoke or stick.
-Before aligning ailerons, place the shoulder yoke or wheel controlling the ailerons in the center of its path of movement. (a) Trailing-edge Ailerons.
