When to initiate turn when approaching VOR

[dnunes 1]

Coming back to your problem, I think I have a beginner's one: how to perform a "standard rate turn"? In small planes you have an old instrument showing the airplane and you only have to align the wing tip to either "L" or "R". What about the bigger planes, such as the 737? I cannot find any reference to perform a standard rate turn. Is there any hint?Regards,

You'll probably get some other good info shortly, but in the meantime this might help:http://www.tooby.demon.co.uk/FS2002/FS2002....html#RoT_TurnsYou'll see a reference to a "maximum bank angle", which appears to be enforced by the autopilot. Maybe some real-world pilot can correct or update my information on this subject!Regards,--Brian ToobyTCA Pilot #2658Pilot's Assistant Home Page:http://www.tooby.demon.co.uk/P_Assist_Home.html

Thanks a lot! I am ashamed I had your page "Pilot's Assistant" bookmarked in my Favourites and I forgot to check in it before putting the question!Regards,
