The turn coordinator is essentially two airflight instruments in one. The top part indicates the rate of turn. The boom part indicates the slip or skid of the turn and is represented by a black ball situated below the rate of turn indicator. This ball is suspended in a liquid that allows it to roll right, left, or remain in the middle of the tube, depending on the aircraft's slip/skid (balance) condition.
