  Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Level Turns

  coordinated flight. For purposes of this discussion, turns are divided into three classes: shallow, medium, and steep. ⦁ Shallow turns—bank angle is approximately 20° or less. This shallow bank is such that the inherent lateral stability of the airplane slowly ... levels the wings unless aileron pressure in the desired direction of bank is held by the pilot to maintain the bank angle. ⦁ Medium turns—result from a degree of bank between approximately 20° and 45°. At medium bank angles…

  bank angle during turns to correct for groundspeed changes in order to maintain a constant radius turn—steeper bank angles for higher ground speeds, shallow bank angles for slower groundspeeds. ⦁ Improving competency in managing the quickly-changing bank angles. ⦁ Establishing ... adjusting the wind correction angle in order to maintain the track over the ground. ⦁ Developing the ability to compensate for drift in quickly-changing orientations. ⦁ Developing further awareness that the radius of a turn is correlated to the bank angle…

  Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Drift and Ground Track Control › Constant Radius During Turning Flight

  during a turn. For a given true airspeed, the radius of turn in the air varies proportionally with the bank angle. To maintain a constant radius over the ground, the bank angle used is proportional to groundspeed. For example ... assume true, calibrated, and indicated airspeed are all the same). If the pilot starts a turn using a 45° bank angle, the turn radius over the ground at that moment is approximately 890 feet. As the airplane turns, the groundspeed…

  control inputs result in slower roll rates and provide for more time to accurately complete the necessary pitch and bank corrections. Figure 3-18. Parallax view. Some additional considerations for initiating turns are the following: ⦁ If the airplane’s nose ... starts to move before the bank starts, the rudder is being applied too soon. ⦁ If the bank starts before the nose starts turning or the nose moves in the opposite direction, the rudder is being applied too late…

  first 180° of ground track, it is directly crosswind, and the airplane should be at the maximum wind correction angle. As the turn is continued toward the upwind, the airplane’s groundspeed is decreasing, which requires the pilot to reduce ... bank angle to slow the rate of turn. If the pilot does not reduce the bank angle, the continued high rate of turn would cause the turn to be completed prematurely. Another way to explain this effect is—the wind…
