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.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
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.
