TURN COORDINATOR
This is another Gyroscopic instrument. This instrument give information about the direction and rate of turn. Additionally. It indicates if the turn is being flown in coordinated flight. If the
Aircraft is slipping or skidding during a turn. The ball (or inclinometer) in the bottom portion of the turn coordinator will not be centered. During a coordinated turn. The ball remain centered. If the ball is not centered. The pilot must adjust the turn by using more or less redder to correct for adverse yaw.
STANDARD RATE TURN
The white lines indicate the bank amount for a standard rate turn. The turn indicator indicates the rate of turn. And not the amount of turn. A standard rate turn. Or rate one turn will give a standard rate of turn of 3 degree per second. Therefore. a 360 degree turn will be exactly 2 minutes. This allows the pilot to determine by time. The degrees of turn for instance a pilot could use a standard rate of turn for 60 seconds. And confidently know changed their course by 180 degrees based on 3 degrees per second. This becomes particularly important when pilots begin instrument flying.
