Bank angle...!

Hola Eboy -

With my airline, and most airlines, believe me, we try to operate as if we carry a bunch of eggs.
We dront try to make an omelet with our passengers...

We bank only 15º, not more than 20º when in daytime and clear.
Some departures or arrivals require us to bank 25º, sorry. Traffic separation requires it.
If it is in low clouds, we normally bank 25º (maximum 30º) as required by instrument peocedures.
If in clouds, you would not know (or feel) much difference between 15º and 25º bank.
Unless an emergency, we never would exceed 30º bank.
I am not that good at all this, so sometimes, I been to 32 or 33º... ooops!

Hey listen, I try not to spill my before landing Bloody Mary...
Makes a mess of my maps and charts...

Happy contrails
