How do you judge a 45 degree bank angle with just a TC as you would
have with partial panel (no AH)?


A 45 degree turn in most planes is going to peg the needle in the turn
indicator.

And the last thing you want to be doing partial panel are manouvers
like that. Standard rate at the most.

It's certainly not in the PTS or any FAA-endorsed curriculum.
