: Pilots refer to stick time (or at least my one friend who is a pilot does).

: It is the time spent flying the plane. I suppose that they must refer to the steering wheel or some other control input as 'the stick.' Now that you question the reference, I am not so sure.

You're right on the money, Joe. Remember that in military aircraft, as with most FIRST robots, the steering control is a stick.
