If you are travelling at 450 kts TAS ( which is kinda slow in cruise), it would take about 45 degrees of bank, only to make a rate one turn! If an ATCO expects more than rate one, he would thus expect me to yank my boeing around at more than 45 degrees bank! That`s 2G`s at 450 kts. Get real!
Can I be on your plane please when you do that - wow - what fun!!!

I'd seriously love to see how that would look (and feel) - aerobatics in a Boeing eh??? The fact that the rest of the pax might be terrorised isn't a worry - I LOVE turbulence!!
