When I needed to calculate the radius of a turn in order to fly a safe low level demo I divided the square of my indicated speed by 10 times the reading I intended to use on the g meter.

I offer four advantages for this method:

 The answer is in feet.

 No conversion of units is required

 You barely need to know how to spell maths.

 The answer is 13% pessimistic which keeps you out of trouble with the display line even with an on crowd wind (and or your off days)


Worked for me
