Abstract: An electronic lateral acceleration indicator is provided that gives improved visual performance over previous electronic indicators. In a first embodiment, the lateral acceleration indicator includes a fine tuning element and a high level lateral acceleration element. The fine tuning element provides a precise reading of low level lateral acceleration. This allows a pilot to make small corrections to eliminate small amounts of lateral acceleration. The high level lateral acceleration element provides a strong visual indication when relatively high lateral acceleration is present. The strong visual indication provided by the high level lateral acceleration element increases the probability that the pilot will be made aware of the lateral acceleration. Thus, the lateral acceleration indicator of the present invention provides both fine tuning capability and a strong visual warning of large lateral acceleration to the pilot.
