A turn coordinator differs from a turn indicator in that its gimbal is

  • A.Free in two axes rather than one
  • B.Driven by air rather than electrically
  • C.Canted, so it senses roll rate as well as yaw rate
  • D.Vertical rather than horizontal

Answer: C

Canting the axis by about 30 degrees makes the instrument respond initially to roll, giving an earlier indication as a turn is entered. In a steady turn it settles to indicate rate of turn just as the older instrument does.
