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

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 3, French, - indicateur%20de%20virage%20et%20d%27inclinaison%20lat%C3%A9rale
