An apparatus (2) for adjusting aircraft inceptor trim includes an inceptor centring device (11) mechanically coupled to a control shaft (5) that rotates in response to inceptor inputs. The inceptor centring device (11) includes an inceptor centring spring (21) preloaded with a preload force to provide a first biasing force to bias the control shaft (5) to an inceptor neutral position. The apparatus (2) has a trim mechanism (13), mechanically coupled to the inceptor centring device (11), and including a trim locking device (16) having a locked state and an unlocked state. A resistance force of the trim mechanism (13) with the trim locking device (16) in the unlocked state is less than the preload force, such that when the trim mechanism (13) is in the unlocked state, actuation of the inceptor (3) adjusts the position of the inceptor centring device (11) to alter the degree of trim.
