The Douglas B717 will fly a nice arc if it's in the database as part of an STAR or Approach, as mentioned for other types above.

Similarly one can create WPTs at the appropriate spacing to approximate the arc, and then fly a series of short straight sectors, or, use TRK/HDG to stay within tolerances.
