The Turn Coordinator | Standard Rate Turns Explained

Standard rate turns are used when flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). A standard rate turn is 3 degrees per second and bank angle to maintain standard rate increases as airspeed increases. Markings on the turn coordinator are also explained.
A simple math formula is used to compute an estimate of standard rate and there are limits to bank angles used in standard rate turns and those scenarios are shown in the video.
Half standard rate turns are used when instructed by ATC and also on the final approach course when doing an Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) or Precision Approach Radar (PAR) approach in the event of gyro failure.

With you, I even learn about a simple "steam gauge" turn coordinator (DC electric + the red flag)! You're the best !

The red flag was added last minute. I thought if talking about the turn coordinator better explain everything on it while I’m at it.
