Can someone please remind me what the formula is for radius of turn in terms of airspeed and angle of bank.

My PPSC notes say
Bank angle =(TAS/10)+7
and Radius of turn=TAS/(rate of turn(degrees per min)
and finally
Rate of turn =TAS squared/(tan bank angle x 'g')
One of these should do the trick

Sorry, typo in the last equation
should be radius of turn=TASsquared/g x Tan angle of bank.
Tas needs to be in metres per sec, answer is in metres
Thanks for that, I assume if TAS is stated then this is a still air condition.
