Uncoordinated flight.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Uncoordinated flight.

Bottom line

In a skid, the rate of turn is too great for the angle of bank, and the ball moves to the outside of the turn. Varying the angle of bank can also help restore coordinated flight from a slip or skid.
