The turn and slip indicator is a combination of two instruments; the turn needle and the ball. The needle is gyro operated to show rate of turn. The ball reacts to centrifugal force to indicate the quality of a turn... In a slip, the rate of turn is too slow for the angle of bank. The lack of centrifugal force moves the ball to the inside of the turn. Decreasing the bank or increasing the rate of turn will correct a slip. 7, record 2, English, - slip

Indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale. [...] Le principe de base gouvernant le fonctionnement de l'indicateur de virage est la précession gyroscopique. Le rotor est monté sur un cardan. Lorsque l'avion effectue un virage à droite ou à gauche, le rotor «précesse» autour de son axe de rotation et fait rouler le cardan. À son tour, le mouvement rotatoire du cardan fait bouger l'aiguille sur le devant de l'instrument. Un ressort renvoie le gyroscope au neutre lorsque l'avion cesse de virer. L'indicateur de virage indique le «taux» de virage et non «l'amplitude». Le taux standard, ou virage au taux 1, est égal à 3 degrés par seconde ou 360 degrés en deux minutes. 3, record 3, French, - indicateur%20de%20virage

L'indicateur de virage et d'inclinaison latérale se compose en fait de deux instruments. L'un d'eux, l'indicateur de virage (plus communément appelé «l'aiguille») est un gyromètre qui mesure le taux de virage autour de l'axe vertical. L'autre, l'indicateur de glissade (généralement appelé «la bille») est un simple système pendulaire qui sert principalement à indiquer si le virage est coordonné (c'est-à-dire si l'angle d'inclinaison correspond à la vitesse vraie et au taux de virage), et sinon à indiquer l'amplitude de la glissade ou du dérapage. 3, record 6, French, - indicateur%20de%20virage%20et%20d%27inclinaison%20lat%C3%A9rale

V-bar : Flight Director Indicator... The V-bar command indicator is a pair of yellow, wedge-shaped V-bars that move up or down to command a climb or descent, and roll left or right to command a bank. The flight director system commands the V-bars to capture and track the selected heading or radio signals; or to maintain a desired pitch angle, glidepath, or an optimum speed during SC(speed command) operation. To satisfy the commands, the aircraft is maneuvered so that the airplane symbol is flown into the V-bars until the two are aligned. Input signals to the V-bars depend upon the mode of operation. The V-bars are biased from view by the instrument failure warning system; when loss of signal occurs, or sensing circuits fail that are associated with the selected mode of operation. They are also out of view when the mode selector control is in the OFF position. 3, record 7, English, - tendency%20bar

bille-aiguille : Instrument électrique indiquant si l'avion est en virage à gauche ou à droite. Le bas de l'instrument est équipé d'une bille qui évolue dans un liquide amortisseur; celle-ci permet de contrôler l'absence de «dérapage» de l'avion durant un virage. Aux limites, un fort dérapage sous facteur de charge peut entraîner un décrochage. La coordination s'obtient en agissant avec les pieds sur les palonniers. 9, record 9, French, - indicateur%20bille%2Daiguille

[The turn coordinator] is a level, with a ball that shows the pilot the direction and rate of the turn. The ball shows the quality or coordination of the turn and the dipped wing tells the angle of bank. In more complex airplanes, the TC is often a gyro and is part of the vacuum system. The turn coordinator "backs up" the information from the attitude indicator. 3, record 10, English, - ball

Turn and slip indicator. The instrument is comprised of two components. -The turn needle is an electrically driven gyroscope which indicates the rate of turn... -The glass level containing the black ball is called the inclinometer. It provides the pilot with a measure of the turn quality. During both straight and level flight and during turns the ball should stay centered. 2, record 10, English, - ball

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. [...] La bille noire de l'indicateur de glissade/dérapage se maintient entre les deux lignes verticales de référence lorsque les forces d'un virage s'équilibrent et que l'appareil est en vol coordonné. Si la bille tombe vers l'intérieur du virage, l'avion fait une glissade. Si la bille se déplace vers l'extérieur du virage, l'avion effectue un dérapage. 2, record 10, French, - bille
