Granted my point about 'g' was wrong, but turboprops have been known from first hand knowledge to bank more than jets ever do.
I do not agree that even experienced pilots can accurately estimate large bank angles from a window, no matter how 'experienced' they are! A wing and a horizon are not enough.
This whole thread is a fraud started by someone trying to suggest it was a bit more 'official' than a Mk 1 eyeball! Unless anybody can prove an incident actually occured rather than an inexperienced aeroplane watcher seeing what he thinks is an 'incident', then we are wasting bandwidth on a fools errand. As for estimating bank out of a cabin window, it is purely an academic discussion not worthy of wasting any time on.
