The turn rate for a given load factor in a level turn is the angular velocity at which an aircraft rotates around its vertical axis while maintaining a constant altitude. The rate of turn is directly proportional to the load factor and inversely proportional to the velocity of the aircraft. A higher load factor or lower velocity results in a faster rate of turn, while a lower load factor or higher velocity results in a slower rate of turn. The formula to calculate Turn rate for a given load factor in Level turn as follows:
where:
- g is gravity in m/s2Â ,
- n is load factorÂ
- v is the velocity in m/s.
