The turn indicator indicates the rate of the turn, not the amount of the turn. Thus, a standard rate, or rate one, turn will give a rate of turn of 3 degrees per second, or 360 degrees in two minutes. The instrument is usually calibrated to indicate a rate one turn when the turn needle is centred on one of the indexes seen either sides of the centre index. 4, record 1, English, - rate%20of%20turn

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, - rate%20of%20turn

L'indicateur de virage se compose en fait de deux instruments. Le gyroscope indique le taux de virage de l'appareil, c'est-à-dire la vitesse à laquelle il change de direction. Une bille située dans un tube appelé «inclinomètre» ou «indicateur de glissade/dérapage» indique la qualité du virage, c'est-à-dire s'il est ou non «stabilisé». 7, record 1, French, - taux%20de%20virage
