GPS instead of turn and bank

It doesn't matter. If your relative track doesn't change and you're
coordinated, then you're not banking.

A GPS unit doesn't know if you're coordinated. And if your track _is_
changing, it doesn't know why.

Your statement does not make sense. Of course the GPS does not know
if you're coordinated. I doesn't need to. You can see the ball
yourself. If the ball is caged, and your ground track is changing,
you are by definition in a bank. End of story.

No.


A wind shift will also alter the ground track. Listen to MX, the "idiot
savant" of this newsgroup.

I was talking about using GPS to measure turn and bank.
