flight instrumentsFAA-published sample question (IRH, Aug 2021)
Displacement of the standard rate turn index during a coordinated turn will
A
indicate the angle of bank.
B
remain constant for a given bank regardless of airspeed.
C
increase as rate of turn increases.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
The turn coordinator's miniature aircraft displacement shows rate of turn: aligned with the index it is a standard-rate turn, and it deflects further as the rate of turn increases. It does not show bank angle, and the bank required for a given rate changes with airspeed.
