Use this calculator for flight-planning study or a first-pass cross-check when all inputs describe the same aircraft, atmospheric condition, and phase of flight.

TAS (kt)

True airspeed.

Bank angle (°)

Bank angle of the turn.

Compute the rate of turn in degrees per second from true airspeed and bank angle. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Rate of turn (°/s)

Turn rate.

• Do not use a generic calculator in place of the current aircraft flight manual, approved performance data, operating limitations, NOTAMs, weather, or regulations. Real performance changes with configuration, runway condition, altitude, temperature, wind, loading, and technique.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Cross-check the result against the aircraft flight manual or approved planning system, then apply the required safety margins. Keep signed wind, heading, altitude, speed, and fuel conventions explicit.

• Bank Angle for Standard Rate Calculator

  Compute the bank angle that produces a desired turn rate at a given true airspeed.

• Turn Diameter Calculator

  Compute the full diameter of a coordinated level turn from true airspeed and bank angle.

• Turn Radius Calculator

  Compute the radius of a coordinated level turn from true airspeed and bank angle.
