Default Visual coordination of turns revisited
d&tm writes:

Does this help?
For a given bank angle ( theta) the time taken for the heading to change 360
degrees in a coordinated turn will be given by

t = 2 Pi v / g tan( theta)

t = time in secs
Pi = 3.14159
g =gravitational accleration 9.8 m/s2
v = speed ( m/s)

Thanks!
