Hey guys,
I recently had an interview where I was asked about the outbound timing of a base turn.
The question was: when flying a base turn, let's take a 30 degree angle between outbound and inbound, no outbound timing published, what time should I fly outbound in order to roll out on the inbound track using a 25 degree bank angle (ofc dependable on the speed) in zero wind conditions.
For a class A airplane I know a formula
Time = 36/angle between inbound and outbound
So in this case it would be 1,2 minutes but this is for a rate one turn only.
Does anyone know the exact math behind my problem or a rule of thumb?
If so, please help me out
Thanks in advance!
