There are various instruments in an aircraft that a pilot relies on to safely fly, each of which offers varying readings that are important for basic operations. From airspeed indicators that provide speed readings to altimeters that allow a pilot to know just how high they are in the air, instruments not only ensure safety, but also promote efficiency, high performance, and much more. One instrument that is not always discussed is the turn and slip indicator, which provides combined readings for an aircraft’s rate of turn and orientation in comparison to coordinated flight. As both of these are very important during various flight phases, current or prospective pilots should have a good understanding of how they work and are used.
