The Turn and Slip Indicator, also known as the Turn and Slip Coordinator, 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 turn needle and a slip ball.
The formula for Turn and Slip Indicator:
- Rate of Turn is the rate at which the aircraft is turning, measured in degrees per second (°/s).
- Horizontal Displacement of Turn Needle is the angular displacement of the turn needle from its centered position.
- Time is the duration over which the displacement occurs, typically measured in seconds.
