- The Turn Coordinator Explained - Pilot Institute
It uses a gyroscope mounted at an angle to provide turn rate and coordination information Standard rate turns are calibrated at 3 degrees per second or a 2-minute 360-degree turn Modern EFIS systems are replacing turn coordinators, but the slip skid indicator is still required
- Mastering the Turn Coordinator: A Comprehensive Guide
By understanding the turn coordinator’s capabilities and limitations, pilots can develop advanced techniques to improve their flying skills and safety Mastery of this instrument allows for more precise maneuvers, better control, and ultimately, a safer flight experience
- Turn Coordinator - Avionics Instruments - CFI Notebook
Turn coordinators precisely indicate the quality of turn, and generally the rate-of-turn Upon engine start and the activation of the gyroscopes (vacuum or electrical system), any flags should disappear
- Turn and Slip Indicator vs. Turn Coordinator Compared
The difference between the Turn and Slip Indicator and Turn Coordinator is that the Turn and Slip Indicator shows the rate of heading change, and the Turn Coordinator indicates both the rate of heading change as well as the rate of roll, or movement of the aircraft around the longitudinal axis
- Master Turn Coordinator Techniques for Smooth Aircraft Turns
The key difference between a turn indicator and turn coordinator is that while both show the rate of heading change, the turn coordinator also provides feedback on the rate of roll
- Understanding the Role of the Turn Coordinator in Aviation
Awareness of these limitations allows pilots to combine the Turn Coordinator with other flight instruments for comprehensive situational awareness Relying solely on this instrument can lead to dangerous assumptions about an aircraft’s maneuvering capabilities and orientation

May have small acceleration, deceleration errors (accelerate-slight pitch up, decelerate-pitch down) and roll-out errors (following a 180 turn shows a slight turn to the opposite direction)
- How it works: Turn coordinator - AOPA
The designation of “2 min” on the turn coordinator tells you that if you were to turn the airplane while keeping the turn coordinator wing aligned with the index, the airplane is turning at 3 degrees per second and you will perform a 360-degree turn in two minutes
