Hello, where can I see my actual turn rate? On ADI? Thank you

 

If you want a turn indicator in terms of degrees per second, there isn't one.

 

The yellow needle in the VVI appears to be a turn co-ordinator, though it doesn't appear to be calibrated in any particular way (flight manual page 36). I'd surmise that the turn/bank indicator needle is really designed for enabling the pilot to conduct 'standardised' turns for navigational purposes. It's only accurate up to 500Km/h TAS, after which it becomes fairly inaccurate, and more so as bank angle increases.

 

This was discussed before in this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=161686

Thank you guys, I think I understand it now. We are pulling G´s at certain speed, and based on these values we can estimate what turn rate and turn radius we will achieve based on doghouse plot that is in the manual. Right?

Exactly that, but bear in mind that most doghouse plots are specific to a certain configuration, i.e. all-up weight. IIRC the plots in the Su-27 manual are calibrated for an all-up weight of 21,400Kg - the same weight that the AOA/G limiter is calibrated for - so consequently a heavier total weight means lower turn rate and less weight = higher turn rate fora given G & airspeed.

Speed, G and turn radius depend on each other and nothing else. If you pull certain G at certain speed you will get a certain radius regardless of your plane, air density, or whaterver.

a = v^2 / r

Ah, you're correct of course, no earthly idea what I was thinking there :doh:
