bank=const, R reduced, V reduce. ,ROT increases. is this a good practice?

Question

r= const, if V increases along with Bank angle. Which is a better practice for commercial aircraft?

Answer 1

................ none ............. passanger aircraft has to be flown to keep passangers in comfort .................. with minimum bank and 1 g flying ................ if you increase bank and increase speed it will go to more g effect and hard on passangers ........ gentle is the way to fly the commercial aircrafts ................

Answer 2

Typically maneuvering speed is predetermined by aircraft configuration. So a target airspeed during approach is more or less set in stone. Bank angle is varies quite a bit though. For passenger comfort, most pilots will tend to time their turns for a 15 degree bank or so, and if necessary increase it to about 25 degrees. We are absolutely limited to 30 though, and that is not necessarily SOP.

It has to do with the certification of the aircraft itself. Maneuvering speed (listed above) is an airspeed that guarantees you a safe margin above a stall of 1.4 G's. This equates to about 40 degrees of bank in level flight. We are mandated by the certification of the aircraft to maintain a margin above the stall that basically equates to 10 degrees, thereby legally limiting bank angle to 30 degrees.

So, yes bank angle is varied but never increased above 30 degrees. Velocity is approximately constant during a landing approach for any given configuration. A good pilot will recognize where winds are and what effect they are having on his or her airplane and anticipate any corrections that need to be made before they are necessary.

Answer 3

If you want to increase your rate of turn, slow down. Increasing the bank angle is a no-no in airline ops. The SOPs for most airlines dictate 30 degrees or less. Anticipating your turns are the best way to avoid any need to alter these variables.

Answer 4

I assume you are looking for a tighter turn? At the times when this would be necessary, like on approach, you aren't going to want to slow down just to turn because you are already going quite slow, so crank it over and pull in some g. Commercial aircraft approach patterns are very relaxed though, so this shouldn't be an issue unless something has gone wrong.
