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 2, English, - rate%20of%20turn

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 4, French, - coordonnateur%20de%20virage
