hi every one,

try these,

First of all i'll do the bank angle formulae. See if it make sense.

Bank angle for rate 1 turn is approximately ((TAS*0.1)+7)=Bank Angle.BUt these limited to about 25Deg.

Where as if you use a moderate bank angle the approximation is:
Bank angle= (TAS * Turn rate)/7
Eg...TAS 350, Turn Rate 1/2(1.5Deg/sec),
Bank Angle= (350*1/2)/7=25Deg

Radius of turn; At rate 1 the Turn Radius =TAS/180
Eg...TAS120, Turn radius=120/180=0.7nm.
