Coordinated Turn
Hey =)
Do you know that a comfortable turn is a coordinated turn?
Well there is this instrument in the cockpit which is known as the
Turn and Slip Indicator ,
It guides every pilot to make a coordinated turn.
The TSI works on the theory of centrifugal force
When you taxy on the ground making a left turn the ball will sway to the right.
But in the air is different.
The rule is, 'kick the ball'
During a turn in the air, it is best to use the aileron and rudder together.
It will definitely give the passenger a comfortable ride =)
Here is an example on this instrument.

Parts Of the Aircraft.
Hi All,
Do you all know the basic parts of an aircraft?
Here is a picture where everyone can have a general idea of the aircraft parts !
(Thanks to 4H Aerospace Airplanes)
There are 3 main axis in an aircraft,
Normal axis - control by the Rudders
Longitudinal axis - control by the Aileron
Lateral axis - control by the Elevator
