Smooth Turn

The Smooth Turn strategy is a 3D strategy, operating in the wind frame, in which the aircraft performs a turn in the horizontal plane with a smooth onset of load factor and roll rate.

Turn

Select the Heading change that describes the direction and extent of the turn. You can select to control the Load Factor or Roll of the turn; the maximum rate of the selected property can be derived from the current Acceleration performance model or you can override the model and enter a manual value.

Airspeed

Select a method to define the aircraft's airspeed for the maneuver from the drop-down menu and define any related properties for it.

The Min Speed Limits and Max Speed Limits properties control the behavior of Aviator if the aircraft violates the minimum or maximum airspeed during the maneuver; select Constrain if Violated to force the aircraft to obey the limit and continue the maneuver (possibly violating physical laws), Stop if Violated to stop the maneuver at the minimum or maximum airspeed, or Error if Violated to make the procedure invalid.
