In most large jetliners, turns are limited to thirty degrees of bank. That's about as far as you can go without making the passengers uncomfortable and unnecessarily stressing the airframe. The flight director/autopilot limits itself to twenty-five degrees, and can be reduced to 12.5 degrees.Pink Panther said:...if jet's don't make standard rate turns, what kind of turns do they make...?
The "brick" works exactly like the "ball" in your turn coordinator or turn-and-bank indicator. Assuming you're not inverted, it's easily in your scan. In fact, having it incorporated into the sky pointer makes your scan a lot easier...your eyes only have to travel a fraction of a degree to rapidly scan the bank angle and the "brick."...how can a pilot see whether he is flying a coordinated turn?

I do believe it's actually referred to as a Turn and SLIP Indicator. One portion indicates the angle of bank. The other portion indicates the amount of sideslip (or skid) being induced, or, in other words, how COORDINATED the turn is. (Neither portion directly dispays RATE of turn.)Pink Panther said:Could someone tell me where the turn & bank indicator are located in a modern glass cockpit?
