Turn Coordinator VS Turn and Slip Indicator (AND How they Work) Private Pilot Ground Lesson 30

Do you know the difference in a turn coordinator and a turn and slip indicator? This video explains the differences, and explains how the turn coordinator and the turn and slip indicator work. I also explain the inclinometer and what it means to make a coordinated turn. This information will help you study for the Private Pilot written exam and the oral exam for your check ride. This training is intended to follow the aeronautical knowledge areas in Part 61.105 section b for single engine aircraft.

The observation and comment that where the ball is located, is the side where the tail is really cleared things up! Bravo. A simple paradigm shift:)

I never knew the difference between turn coordinator and turn and slip indicator- so thank you for that.
But your explanation of the offset of the gyro axis, and how that differentiates TC vs. T/S- that was fantastic! Speaking for myself, knowing the underlying principles makes it far easier for me to remember things, as opposed to rote memorization. I guarantee I won't equate TC and T/S in the future, and I'm nearly as certain to remember why.

I'm embarrassed to say that I've been calling a turn coordinator a turn and slip indicator for years. 🤦‍♂This was a great video!!

[JonMulveyGuitar]

Another excellent video! Great content, very well produced. Your channel is going to get very popular. Keep up the good work!

[manya]

Thank you very much, this is a very useful video, I have my exam in few days and this and other videos are helping me out. Again Thank you very much 💕

[rexlinville]

Awesome videos on your channel. I 58 and on my 4th lesson and you’ve helped me immensely with my flying. Keep it up

I am studying for my CPL and it helps a lot, :)

[SkidsUpAviation]

A great video for explaining and visualizing learning!

What is the relation between True Airspeed, rate of turn and bank angle?

For small bank angles < 25°
The rate of turn in deg/sec is 20×bank angle, divided by the true airspeed in knots
Example true airspeed = 100 knots
bank angle = 15 degrees
20 × 15 / 100 = 3 deg/sec, standard turn rate.
Very useful fying a standard 4 minute holding pattern.

very clear. Easy to understand. Short and complete. Love it thumbs up 👍
yeah and also acurate 👌

[isaacmyers]

Great video! Made it easy for me to finally understand why I use it

[dr.s.p.]

Excellent presentation and if folk can’t understand these two instruments after this greatly narrated explanation and superb graphics, well, perhaps it’s best not to take up flying.

[ahmedalamery]

I don't Know how to say thank you for your videos

[calvynvandenberg]

Nice and easy to understand explanation!

[brianlongman]

This was another excellent video that did a great job explaining an instrument I used, but didn’t really understand- until now. Keep up the great work!

[kuldeepsankpal]

Awesome i was wondering for quite long what is the difference between two.

[jimallen]

Which instrument will you prefer? Bet most answer Turn Coordinator but I’d go for Turn and Slip Indicator. Makes a difference for spin recovery. Step on the needle be it upright (erect) or inverted spin. But with the TC, the device only works for upright as inverted the yaw and roll are opposite each other while you don’t know which is the dominant contributor. Sammy Mason has a good paragraph on this though he’ll say look down the nose to see yaw.

Pretty sure i came up with a great way to remember and understand skids and slips with zero thinking necessary.

When you think skids, think tokyo drift (if you like fast and furious) or just think of cars drifting. And then slips is just the opposite. For slips think of a toy boat going down a drain hole butt end first. Its rotating around a fixed point but the nose is facing away from the turn and the but is going towards it.
But i think slips dont have to be explain too much when you know its the opposite orientation to a skid

[toshawebster]

Good advice I enjoy this video I read about these in my books 📚📚📚❤️💯

If you ever flown a glider, the ball is merely a piece of yard attached to the windscreen. If you become uncoordinated, you step on the rudder pedal that is OPPOSITE the direction the yard is pointing. This is totally opposite of what you do with a turn coordinator and turn and slip indicator. There you step on the rudder where the ball deflects. Took me a while to get used to flying a glider as a private pilot.
