AoB on public transport flight?

[MaxNg]

Apart from the any limitations stated in the aircraft flight manual does anyone limit there Angle of bank (AoB) when operating the aircraft under public transport rules?

If so what (AoB) do they think the customer finds acceptable (rate 1 or 30deg) etc.

Does you regulatory Authority stipulate or recommend any perticular AoB?

I was shooting my mouth of seem to remember that rate 1 or 25 deg was recommended and I was passing on this pearl of wisdom when I was challenged to show where this was written and hence the humble request.

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the airline world I think they use tho 30 degree rule.
To keep all things equal I would suggest a rate 1. If you just go by your angle of bank it would then depend on your speed and type of Helicopter.
Interesting point though, I just go by what I feel is comfortable and does the job. Maybe the IFR chaps would care to respond I think they probably deal with this a little more often.

My company uses Rate 1 in IFR with a max of 20degs AOB.

VFR max 30degs AOB.
