turn coordinator

For example, a turn and slip indicator used in a very fast aircraft is likely to contain a four minute turn indicator, displayed as "4 min.

The pilot banks the airplane such that the turn and slip indicator points to the standard rate turn mark and then uses a watch to time the turn.

The turn and balance indicator is often referred to under various names interchangeably, such as the turn and slip indicator or the turn and bank indicator.

The yaw string serves the same purpose as the ball in the turn and slip indicator except that it is more sensitive and removes the need to look at the instrument panel.

Pilots should have experience at flying on the Turn and Slip indicator before using an Artificial Horizon, so that they can manage if the Horizon topples or becomes unusable.

It incorporates the following pitot/static and vacuum operated instruments:- Airspeed indicator, altimeter, climb/descent indicator, artificial horizon, turn and slip indicator and a directional gyro.

Because of the risk of a failure of the battery-operated Artificial Horizons, I always insist that pilots are competent to fly on the Turn and Slip Indicator before even trying a Horizon.
