Determining the 1m, 2m, and 4m turn configs for station keeping?

[Voyager]

Anyone have any guidelines for setting up for the 1, 2, and 4 minute turns for station keeping on patterns and in the carrier landing stack? I'm looking to practice then when I next get time to fly, so trying to understand the expected entry/sustainmemt conditions; i.e. IAS speed, wing bank, G load, minimum power.

 

I'm assuming for air field circuits I'd be doing a half version of one of these at each end of the loop?

 

Also, and general guidelines for setting up for the best practice session for this sort of this?

 

Thank you,

Google holding pattern. Seriously, it’s not as complicated as you’re making it out to be.

Every plane has a turn coordinator.

Basically hold speed at 250kts in the pattern and assign yourself a plausible charlie time (=when you commence and leave the pattern for initial at reciprocal BRC + 40°); see how long your turns take you and adjust accordingly in width and bank, while keeping 250kts all the time.

Thank you. Finally got time to fly Monday and did some laps. I knew the aircraft had a turn coordinator, but had not realized that it also had a turn rate indicator. That and the advice here have helped quite a bit. But definitely going to take practice to keep up with and get ahead of the plane. :)

 

The landing was awesome. Have finally figured out that you need the DLC active and the spoilers/antiskid set to 'Both' for ground landings, so touchdown was good enough. However, somehow I though having nose wheel steering on was a good idea. We lived, but I'm just as glad i don't need to pay for the repairs, to the wing, or the radar truck...

You can check out this video if you would like to practice land based landings. Please note I put it together in a haste, so I made a few mistakes while talking through, I have put them in the video description:
