Glass cockpits & Turn Coordinators

[Jeremy Lew]

The most recent issue of AOPA Pilot has G1000 and other glass cockpits in
several ads and articles. They all seem to have a backup AI, but no turn
coordinator or ball. How do you make a standard rate turn? How do you know
if you're coordinated? Is there some display in the EFIS which makes these
unnecessary?

The EFIS displays have standardized on the ball display. It is the rectangle
just below the lubber line in the DG visualization.

That would be the AI tape. Whip out your trusty whizwheel, figure out
your TAS, take 10% percent of that, slap on 7 knots, and bank that many
degress to get standard rate.

Or you could just do it by the seat of your pants :)
