This Captain was not highly experienced...His total flying experience is 10,233 hours including 3,718 hours as PIC of which 2,488 hours are on different light and spray aircraft, 1,042 hours on Fokker 50 and 188 hours on B 737-700/800.
The radar trace show the a/c turned 48 degrees past the original HDG of 315 degrees. why? It looks very much like they initiated the turn to 270 degrees in the wrong direction and overbanked the correction to the left.
The first " Bank Angle" warning came at 0038.41 only 19 seconds before the corrected left turn (according to the radar trace) was made.
A disorientated perhaps fatigued crew. ,manual flight, lack of capacity, we have seen this all before, sadly.
Edited after confusion..
