Can anybody here tall me what the standard rate of turn is in a 757? Is it the
same as small palnes, i.ei, is it universal at 360 degrees in 2 minutes? I've got someone telling me the Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon did some impossible turn before flying into the building, and it sounds like a turnign decent to me. Any help would be appreciated. |

Standard rate turns are seldom used in modern aircraft with flight directors
and autopilots with turn/bank angle control. You set your flight guidance for the bank angle you choose, normally 30 degrees unless you are below maneuvering speed (takeoff & final approach). You get the rate of turn that your true airspeed will produce at that bank angle. About the only time you would use a standard (or half-standard) rate of turn would be when you needed to do a timed turn due to heading failure. -- B-58 Hustler History: http://members.cox.net/dschmidt1/ - "Garyurbach" wrote in message ...
