The [[Fourth Doctor]] claimed that the TARDIS controls were [[isomorphic controls|isomorphic]], though this appeared to have been a ruse for the benefit of [[Sutekh|Sutekh the Destroyer]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Pyramids of Mars (TV story)|Pyramids of Mars]]'') The Time Lords were also able to pilot the TARDIS by remote control, ([[TV]]: ''[[Colony in Space (TV story)|Colony in Space]]'') usually, as the Fourth Doctor once bitterly noted, so he might take care of "some dirty work they don't want to get their lily-white hands on".

Various [[companion]]s were able to operate the TARDIS and even fly it.

([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Girl Who Died (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) In the case of [[River Song]], she was trained to fly it by the TARDIS itself due to her being part-Time Lord. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)}}) While companions mainly flew the TARDIS with the Doctor's assistance or direction, Clara and Yaz were able to fly the TARDIS independently while the Doctor was incapacitated, albeit imperfectly in Yaz's case who was still relying on post-it notes to help her remember the controls. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Hell Bent (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) Under the Doctor's direction, the [[Children of Time]] were able to able help the [[Tenth Doctor]] tow Earth back to its original position, taking up the other five pilot positions that the TARDIS had. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Journey's End (TV story)}}) Similarly, [[Kate Stewart]], [[Graham O'Brien]], [[Ace]], [[Tegan Jovanka]], and Yaz were able to pilot the TARDIS together while the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] piloted the [[Spy Master's TARDIS]] instead so as to move a [[cyber-conversion planet]] from 1916 to 2022.

When he was initially on the run from Gallifrey, the Doctor claimed that his inability to control the TARDIS was the result of security systems that would prevent a thief from being able to take the ship where the thief wanted to go; the Second Doctor attempted to bypass these protocols by disabling other standard security protocols, such as those preventing the TARDIS materialising inside something else, but he ended up temporarily trapped in a pocket dimension as he had disabled too many security protocols. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Heart of TARDIS (novel)|Heart of TARDIS]]'') However, this claim may have been at least partly an exaggeration, as the Twelfth Doctor was able to pilot the First Doctor's TARDIS with no issue when his own ship was temporarily stolen.
