The turn coordinator is really two instruments. The gyro portion shows the aircraft's rate of turn--how fast it's changing direction. A ball in a tube called the "inclinometer" or "slip/skid indicator" shows the quality of the turn--whether the turn is "coordinated." 5, record 1, English, - turn%20coordinator
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The turn coordinator is similar to the turn(-)and(-)slip indicator. It is found in more modern aircraft. The main difference is in the presentation of the turn. A miniature airplane is used to show the bank instead of a needle. 6, record 1, English, - turn%20coordinator

Plusieurs avions modernes sont équipés d'un coordonnateur de virage. Cet instrument remplace l'indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale. Il fonctionne sur le même principe, mais certaines particularités de construction lui permettent de réagir non seulement au lacet mais aussi au roulis. Plutôt que de tourner autour de son axe horizontal, comme le fait l'indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale, le gyroscope est incliné d'environ 35 degrés. Ainsi, lors d'un mouvement autour des axes de roulis et de lacet, la précession fait rouler légèrement le mécanisme du gyroscope. Le cardan est relié à un avion miniature sur la face de l'instrument. Le petit avion s'incline pour indiquer au pilote les taux de roulis et de lacet.[...] La bille donne les mêmes indications que celles de l'indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale. 3, record 1, French, - coordonnateur%20de%20virage
