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.
