Hi, is there an easy way to mentally compute what bank I should apply when turning to achieve a specific rate of turn knowing my G.S?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Look in the turn coordinator instrument, youwill see a small plane moving. Just beside, there is a small line. Whne the wings pf the plane is align with those lines, that's means that you gonna take 3 minutes to make a 360 tour. so you can calculate like that. Well, for small airplane

If I'm wrong, please somebody, correct me.

Ciao
