120 kt TAS at 25° bank
At 120 kt TAS and 25° bank, the coordinated-turn model gives about 4.24°/second and 85 seconds for a full 360° turn.
This is faster than standard rate (3°/second). Wind changes the ground track; the model describes the turn through the air.
Formula and method
Coordinated turn rate is determined by true airspeed and bank angle.
