ICAO Doc 8168 Bank Angle

[jtr]

I have a quiz in which one of the questions is "What is the maximum bank angle without FD on in a turn" with the answer to be found in ICAO 8168....

There are a number of answers none of which specify FD on or off, e.g. 25 deg for a racetrack or reversal.

I am PDS the answer is 25 deg max but can't find the reference.

Slightly off topic, I am trying to find an online source to download the Doc. any clues?

Thanks

By the wonders of Google, the document is here:

enjoy!

max bank angle is max bank angle, FD on or off.
There is static bank angle, which is the max, then you have to back your actual bank angle off, to allow for corrections while in a turn, (dynamic).
So, if the max bank angle is 25, then your static bank angle should be around 20 degrees, to allow for 5 degrees of course and wind corrections while in the turn.

Thanks,

Well I could find no reference to FD in the doc, and the max angle depends on phase of flight so I thought maybe there was a trap that I was about to jump into... Will wait and see I guess.

There is no FD referenced because these are the max bank angles, and yes, there are many different 'turns'.
