Rate 2= 6 deg/sec (360 deg/min)
Rate 3= 9 deg/sec (540 deg/min)

Question 4

Standard Rate Turn equation

Answer 4

Std rate turn = 15% X TAS

Question 5

Calculate vertical speed

Answer 5

vertical speed = % X Vsol

Question 6

Calculate climb angle percent

Answer 6

vertical speed / Vsol = climb gradient %
