An aeroplane rolls 60 degrees in 2.5 seconds. Its average roll rate is

  • A.150 degrees per second
  • B.2.5 degrees per second
  • C.0.42 degrees per second
  • D.24 degrees per second

Answer: D

Correct answer: 24 degrees per second

Average roll rate is the bank angle achieved divided by the time taken:

\[ p = \frac{60}{2.5} = 24\ \mathrm{deg/s} \]

The distractor 150 multiplies instead of dividing, and 0.42 inverts the ratio. Note that this is an average over the manoeuvre: the true rate starts at zero, builds as the roll accelerates, and settles at a steady value where the aileron's moment is balanced by roll damping - so the peak rate exceeds the average.
