La bille et l'indicateur de virage. Ces deux instruments sont souvent réunis sur un même cadran. L'indicateur de virage prend souvent la forme d'une aiguille.

Son principe est basé sur les forces d'inertie que subit l'avion en virage. L'aiguille : Elle indique le sens et le taux du virage. Elle est associée à un gyroscope dont la référence est la verticale. [...] Lorsque l'aiguille s'incline à droite, l'avion est en virage à droite (idem à gauche) [...] l'aiguille indique un taux de virage en degré par seconde [...] un virage de 360° s'effectuera en deux minutes.

OBS

aiguille : terme uniformisé par les Comités d'uniformisation de la terminologie aéronautique (CUTA) - Opérations aériennes et Maintenance.
