[[File:Manual steering column.jpg|thumb|A manual steering column aboard an NX class.]]
The '''manual steering column ''' was a [[helm ]] control option aboard some spacecraft that resembled a joystick. <br> It was capable of providing fine piloting control in situations where the normal helm controls were not precise or rapid enough.
[[NX-class]] starships employed manual steering columns for performing exacting maneuvers.
In 2154, Ensign Travis Mayweather used a [[NX class]] starships employed manual-control joystick on Shuttlepod 1, which he referred to as "a stick and rudder system", during a covert visit to Vulcansteering columns for performing exacting maneuvers.
The [[Sovereign-class]] USS Enterprise-E had a manual steering column that allowed the conn to manually control helm functions if the need arose. Commander Riker utilized the column when performing precise maneuvers inside the Briar Patch to collect metreon gas with the ship's ramscoops and subsequently release it in the vicinity of two Son'a battle cruisers.
In [[2154]], [[Ensign]] [[Travis Mayweather]] used a manual-control joystick on Shuttlepod 1, which he referred to as "a stick and rudder system", during a covert visit to [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]].   The [[Sovereign Class]] ''[[USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-E|USS Enterprise-E]]'' had a manual steering column that allowed the conn to manually control helm functions if the need arose.   The [[Delta Flyer II ]] used two manual steering columns in its helm configuration, which completely replaced the old [[LCARS ]] controls that had been used on the original Delta Flyer. 
Manual Steering Columns are the standard flight control on Star Fleet starfighters, and though rarely-used, are installed in the Helm station on most Star Fleet vessels.
