REFLECTOR: Turn Coordinator

[David Scharfenberg]

I'm not sure a turn indicator is required for instrument flight.  We  
don't have one in the Lear 35A.

During instrument flight, the norm is to perform all turns using a  
'standard' rate of 3-degrees of turn per second, i.e. executing a 30- 
degree turn takes 10-seconds.  This is according to the PTS.  Turns on  
final approach are made at 1/2 standard rate.  A Turn Coordinator or a  
Turn and Slip Indicator is a required instrument for instrument flight.
I think your note more accurately makes reference to the "ball" slip- 
skid quality of turn indicator that appears in most Turn Coordinators  
and Turn and Slip/Skid Indicators.  You are correct that the Velocity  
needs very little rudder correction and that the ball does not seem to  
move much during turns, climbs, and descents.

This may be a dumb Question but I will ask it any ways.
Do we need a turn coordinator in our plane?
   I have been told that you really do not use the rudders (Vertical  
Stabilizer)
on this plane so what would the need be for the Turn coordinator?
Extra Gyro???
