A load factor of 2 in a steady level turn corresponds to a bank angle of

  • A.45 degrees
  • B.90 degrees
  • C.60 degrees
  • D.30 degrees

Answer: C

In a level turn the load factor is the reciprocal of the cosine of the bank angle, and the cosine of 60 degrees is one half, giving n equal to two. The relationship explains why a steep turn feels heavy and why stalling speed rises so quickly with bank.
