  Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Level Turns › Turn Radius

  Turn Radius To understand the relationship between airspeed, bank, and radius of turn, it should be noted that the rate of turn at any given true airspeed depends on the horizontal lift component. The horizontal lift component varies in proportion ... Therefore, at a given angle of bank, a higher airspeed makes the radius of turn larger because the airplane turns at a slower rate. Figure 3-14. Angle of bank and airspeed regulate rate and radius of turn…

  straight-line ground reference at a 90° angle and immediately beginning a 180° constant-radius turn. The pilot will then adjust the roll rate and bank angle for drift effects and changes in groundspeed, and re-cross the straight-line ... such, the roll into the turn should be rapid, but not aggressive, and the angle of bank should be steepest when initiating the turn. As the turn progresses, the bank angle and the rate of rollout should be decreased…

  proportional to the radius of the turn. In a correctly executed turn, the horizontal component of lift must be exactly equal and opposite to the centrifugal force. As the airspeed is increased in a constant-rate level turn, the radius ... radius of turn causes an increase in the centrifugal force, which must be balanced by an increase in the horizontal component of lift, which can only be increased by increasing the angle of bank. In a slipping turn, the aircraft…
