Why on earth try to solve a differential equation whilst flying an aeroplane?

What is it you need to know? The time it'll take to turn through a given number of degrees at a given TAS and AOB?

In which case if you want to turn through n deg, the time taken will be n x (2pi x TAS x 60)/( 360 x g x tan AoB) seconds.

At 240 TAS and 25 deg AoB, that simplifies to roughly n/2 seconds...or 0.4712 n if you prefer.

About 2/3 Rate 1
