For once I agree with Crab! Better to judge the constant distance from the objective visually, using whatever bank is required. The VITAL thing is to monitor IAS when turning downwind and avoid a descent which, as has been mentioned before, can cause probs if the IAS is allowed to become too low. So, fly the AOB to maintain distance from the object and WATCH IAS!
