Beagle,

The table is worked out using the formula. If you can evaluate the formula during the turn itself, credit where credit is due, but, me, being a neanderthal, I need a simple aide memoire hence the table...

The rate of turn is:

d/dt(\gamma)=V/r=g*sqrt(n^2-1)/V

where n = load factor.

n is obviously a function of the AOB.

I realised shooting the above approach I had an aide memoire for decel rate, track miles to go below FL100 but not one for turn radii at a particular speed/AOB combination...



PS: John T - Any update on getting [tex] tag support?
