Though probably not worded as simply as it should be for folks new to aviation, I think the point he was trying to stress was the simultaneous use of yoke/rudder input to coordinate the turn. This is opposed to correcting for slip/skid by "stepping on the ball." If the ball is giving you a direction from which to step on it, it means you're already uncoordinated and stepping on the ball will correct that. If the inputs are applied simultaneously, the ball will stay centered the entire time.
Appreciate the video, but I agree a little bit with SaveAmericaGuy -- if you're going to argue that the ailerons are a tool to coordinate the turn (as opposed to the classic "setting the bank angle and stepping on the ball" as S.A.G. suggests), then I think you really need to expand upon that point to a much greater extent.
As it is, I had to play the video twice just to figure out what the heck you meant at the end when you said "you can use ailerons".
- There is a designated calm wind runway at the aerodrome?
- METAR, TAF, etc weather data for flight planning?
By observation, the windsock was not fully extended thus indicating "calm wind" which (if calibrated correctly) is 3 knots or less, per FAA standards.
Not trying to sound like a smartass... it just came out that way. :)
I don't think this video is confusing - its reinforcing the need to use your rudder all the way through turns. I don't see any suggestion that you use the ailerons to coordinate flight - its saying to remember the rudder input at whatever angle of bank you have.
No mention of forward slip to land in a crosswind or deliberate slip to increase descent when you're too high on approach? What about power-on stalls in a turn and how co-ordination affects the break? This is a bit basic for me...
I understand your argument but, you and I both know we're able to influence coordinated flight by applying or removing bank-angle to "center the ball".
whata video i never seen this quality video SUPER MEGA HD

Confusing!
Why did he not show the feet or, at least, comment about "left or right rudder"?

@berndl I agree, not the most explanatory video on this topic.

Good basic info, but just curious: Why did you takeoff and land downwind?

Possible but not "definite" reasons:
- There is a designated calm wind runway at the aerodrome?
- METAR, TAF, etc weather data for flight planning?

Perfect coordinated turns need a lot of practice, but feels so good when you can master them.
Nice work Jeb!
