The TBM at Cavanaugh has a stick in the so called rear cockpit, but that's it. No gauges or pedals.

I asked a friend that got his TBM type rating a few years ago. He said that the thing in the floorboard of the second cockpit was for installing and calibrating the autopilot. Seems like maybe the Cavanaugh flight museums TBM had made a second cockpit with controls but that that aircraft isn't flown anymore.
