Does the turn coordinator indicate the amount of bank?

The turn coordinator does not indicate the amount of bank directly. Instead, it shows the rate of turn in degrees per second. Pilots utilize this information to maintain a specific rate of turn, but it does not provide a direct readout of the bank angle itself.

In terms of function, while some other instruments like the inclinometer or a vertical speed indicator can offer insights into the aircraft's bank angle or performance, the turn coordinator simply assists pilots in maintaining a smooth and coordinated turn by illustrating how quickly the aircraft is turning. Understanding this distinction is crucial for effective flight management and maneuvering.
