A turn is completed in 80 seconds through 360 degrees. The rate of turn is

  • A.6.0 degrees per second
  • B.2.2 degrees per second
  • C.4.5 degrees per second
  • D.3.0 degrees per second

Answer: C

Correct answer: 4.5 degrees per second

Divide the heading change by the time:

\[ \frac{360}{80} = 4.5\ \mathrm{deg/s} \]

That is one and a half times the standard rate of 3 degrees per second, so the turn is steeper than the standard and would need a correspondingly greater bank angle. Comparing a computed rate against the 3 degree standard is the quickest way to judge whether a manoeuvre is conventional.
