It will also vary by speed, configuration, coordination, inherent
stability, etc. All turns in a terminal area on the 767 are done at 30
degrees and they tend to hold a bank pretty good unless the spoilers
are extended. In cruise one would try to use less bank and it will be
less pronounced. In a 182 pilots tend to use standard rate turns and
the need for oposite aileron changes with bank angle. I am not to
familiar with MSFS, is there any way to change the stability
settings?
