Default Determination of bank angle from speed and heading change per time period

Anyone know of a formula for determing the current bank angle, given
the current velocity and rate of change in heading over a particular
period of time?


I think that you are going to have to work with TAS instead of GS,
but Figure 2.29 on page 179 of Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators has
a graph of all the factors involved.
