• Standard rate one turn is 3 degrees per second.
• The standart rate one turn it’s in relation with airspeed and angle of bank.
• The lower the airspeed at a given angle of bank:
  • The higher rate of turn.
  • The smaller the radius of turn.
• The rule of thumb to determine approximate angle of bank required for a standard rate turn is to divide your airspeed by 10 and add one half the result.
• Example:
  • 120 kt:10 = 12.
  • 12:2=6
  • 12+6=18
  • At 120 kt the approximate angle of bank required for a standard rate turn is 18°.
• When you return from a turn to straight and level flight you have ton anticipate the roll out.
• The amount of lead for the roll out from the turn is approximately ½ angle of bank.
• Exemple:
  • If you held 18° of bank in turn  18:2=9  you should begin your roll out 9° before the desired heading.
• A small amount of pitch adjustment may be required during the turn entry and recovery
