    Given:

    Airplane weight = 3,300 lbs

    Angle of bank Load factors equivalent (n)

    0 degrees 1.0 n

    10 degrees 1.015 n

    30 degrees 1.154 n

    45 degrees 1.414 n

    60 degrees 2.000 n

    70 degrees 2.923 n

    80 degrees 5.747 n

    85 degrees 11.473 n

    90 degrees Infinity

    Find:

    Approximate weight during 30% banked turn while maintaining altitude

    So, we multiply 3,300 lbs by 1.2 n (1.154 rounded off to nearest ten)

    3,300 lbs * 1.2 n

    = 3,960 lbs

    Therefore, while maintaining altitude, the airplane structure would be required to support 3,960 lbs of weight during a 30° banked turn.
