Despite my flippant comment earlier in this thread, this is something we have to use doing the job I do - Air to Air Refeulling. We often have to set up RVs calculating the radius of turn to ensure we roll out exactly one NM ahead of the customer. However, a lot of this info is already calculated and tabulated.

When these tables aren't valid, do also have a natty gadget called a 'Turn Radius Nomogram' which is a graph with various parameters (Alt, IAS, g, Radius etc.) which does all this for us. I tried to copy it at put it in this thread, but failed on the technical side.

If anyone wants a copy, mail me with your snail mail address and I will send you one.
