  1. Question 1 · Instrument Rating

    (Refer to FAA-CT-8080-3F, Figure 144.) What information is shown on turn coordinator #3?

    • A.A standard rate, skidding turn to the left.
    • B.A standard rate, slipping turn to the right.
    • C.A half standard rate, coordinated turn to the left.
    Show answer and explanation

    Correct: C. A half standard rate, coordinated turn to the left.

    Figure 144 shows turn-and-slip indicators marked '4 MIN TURN'. On such an instrument, a needle aligned with the doghouse indicates a 4-minute (half standard rate) turn. In indicator 3 the needle is on the left mark and the ball is centered, so it is a half-standard-rate coordinated turn to the left.
