This display is like an artificial horizon in roll and actually moves in unison with it. This makes the transition from viewing the horizon much easier than the reverse display of the turn coordinator. For much greater life and reliability, it uses a solid state gyro instead of a spinning rotor. The Pictorial Turn & Bank is superior to a turn coordinator in all ways.
• It looks and flies like the roll display of an artificial horizon.
• It agrees with the real horizon, so one does not have to reverse his
or her sensing when entering or exiting IMC.
• Even in the two inch size it provides more viewing area than the small moving aircraft in the three inch turn coordinator.
• The roll response is without lag just as it is in an artificial horizon.
• Of most importance, it is easier and safer for the non-instrument pilot to fly. |
