Is Standard rate turn designed only for holding and partial panel?
Asked by: Ami 3712 views Instrument Rating
In doing a Stage Check today, I had a student constantly exceeding standard rate turns (up to 45 degrees of bank) to catch a course that he was about to overshoot. I critiqued him, and during the debrief I mentioned to his instructor that one should never go beyond standard rate turns on an IFR flight plan. His instructor disagreed with me. Saying that there is nothing limiting IFR turns to standard rate. Although I disagreed, I could not find a source to back me up. I personally believe its not wise to exceed it, especially in partial panel situations. But legally speaking, is this allowed? What does ATC think about it? Anyone know of a source I can reference? Thanks!
