In an aircraft with an Attitude Indicator that has a Sky Pointer, the pointer
below the roll scale shifts with the roll or bank angle of the aircraft to keep the
Roll Pointer pointing towards the sky.

Attitude Indicator with a Sky Pointer Configuration in a Left Turn
The Slip/Skid Indicator is the bar beneath the roll pointer. The indicator moves
with the roll pointer and moves laterally away from the pointer to indicate lateral
acceleration. Slip/skid is indicated by the location of the bar relative to the pointer.
One bar displacement from the roll pointer is equivalent to one ball displacement
on a traditional Slip/Skid Indicator.
