Great video! Very helpful information! Really liked the app you used for showing forces on the aircraft. Do you know if and where that app might be available for download? Thank you!
Hi, on the a320 the bank angle would be more 30°. I'd like to know the timing to initiate a turn. Example, I'm following a VOR course 354° and I need to turn right onto the runway with an inbound course 43°. I can determine the bank angle and time necessary for the turn but how woulld I know when to initiate the turn?
thanks, iI want to add that V in the equation is the ground speed, hence the radius depends also on the wind speed ( head wind smaller radius, tail wind larger radius )
and for bank angles less than 45°, I divide the sq of the speed by what? for example a more realistic one, 30°. Tan of 30°. 0,5. I divided it by just 5 in this case and I got it wrong ahahha....... God.
