The Turn and Slip Coordinator, also known as the Turn and Slip Indicator or Turn and Bank Indicator, is an instrument used in aircraft to provide information about the aircraft’s rate of turn and coordination during a turn. It consists of a needle or ball that moves in response to the aircraft’s movements. Here’s a brief explanation of its components and the information it provides:
The formula for the Turn and Slip Coordinator’s turn needle reading (rate of turn) is:
- The SI unit for rate of turn is degrees per second (°/s).
