What instruments would indicate rudder movement?

Answer 1

The feet.

Answer 2

Several could indicate the yaw of the aircraft, the HSI or DG, the Turn & Bank or Turn Coordinator, but the actual movement of the rudder could be seen on the Rudder Position Indicator, which may be combined with other flight control position indicators into a single, larger instrument or display. Not every aircraft has one, and usually this type of indicator is only used on larger aircraft.

Answer 3

Depends on the type of aircraft. Douglas D is incorrect when he says no aircraft has a rudder position indicator. I promise you that several Air Force aircraft have rudder position indicators. Wouldn't surprise me is the airliners did too, though I've never flown one of those. In smaller aircraft, such as the ones I fly these days, there is a rudder trim control which has a pointer. This gives you a rough idea of where the rudder is. In even smaller aircraft, the folks who told you about the ball in the turn & bank are about as correct as you can get for that size plane. If the rudder is not streamlined (in most cases), the ball will be deflected.

Answer 4

There is no instrument that indicates rudder movement. Anyone else who said there is was incorrect.
There is an instrument called the inclinometer, which is part of the Turn Co-ordinator, or the Turn & Slip Indicator (these are two different instruments but they both have inclinometers)
The inclinometer is the little ball that you see in the tube at the bottom of the instrument, & it helps to indicate YAW.
The rudder is used to control yaw, so by using the inclinometer as a reference, you would know which direction you need to apply the rudder, & by how much.
But the inclinometer (or any of the other instruments) in no way can indicate whether or not the rudder is deflected. or by how much.

Answer 5

In flight you would see the reaction of the aircraft to rudder movement most prominently on the ball in the Turn & Bank. You would also see it in a slight heading change. (if the computer program is accurate you might see a slight roll because of the yaw) On large transport aircraft many of them have flight control position indicators that will reflect rudder movement. Most big airplanes no longer have the traditional Turn & Bank.

Answer 6

The turn and slip indicator diffines movement of the tail in relation to the nose of the aircraft.

Answer 7

The ball in the Turn and Bank Indicator.

Answer 8

My eyes, I would see the nose of the aircraft yaw about on the horizon.

Answer 9

I agree with turn and bank, at least for light aircraft:

Answer 10

the HSI would show your relative postion change from the movement..what kind of indication are you looking for..what type of aircraft?
