USS Eclipse NCC-800121 HELM/NAVIGATION

The helmsman is the flight control officer onboard a starship, responsible for controlling the flight operations of the ship, including warp, impulse and thruster control. He or she is also responsible for any landing and docking procedures. The helmsman may also be tasked to pilot shuttle missions, in which case an auxiliary helmsman will pilot the Eclipse.

The actual helm console is near the front of the Eclipse's bridge, located a mere few feet from the Operations console, as seen in the picture below. Helm/Nav sits to the Captain's right [viewer's left] and the Operations officer's station is to the Captain's left.
