Rate Of Turn

Hey.....

I was a bit confused regarding the Rate Of Turn(Rate Two Turn specifically!!)

A rate 1 turn is 3dgrees per second..a rate two turn is 6 degrees per second..so while flying a rate two turn,a 360 degree tun should be completed in 1 minute..

But according to this article,

http://www.airdorrin.com/Resources/i...imedturns.html

a rate two turn is defined as 1 and a half degree per second

so this ways,the aircraft would take 4 minutes to complete a 360 degree turn.

so what should be the correct value??

thnx
