Turning Radius

[downsouth]

Hi guys, does anyone recall how to quickly determine the radius of turn... just an aproximate calculation...

Having : Bank Angle & Ground Speed as knwon data... (maybe something else is needed... I dont really remember... )

Thanks

Radius of turn = 0.0000146 x GSkts x GSkts / Tan of the Bank Angle

Radius of Turn = Vē / 11.26 * Tan (Bank Angle)

V = TAS in kts
R = feet
