Anyone know of a formula for determing the current bank angle, given the
current velocity and rate of change in heading over a particular period of time? I was thinking of adding an artificial horizon to program that I'm working on and figured that by taking the current velocity as reported by the GPS and the change in heading as reported by the last two course-over-ground measurements from the GPS, I should be able to determine a close approximation of the actual bank angle... Of course, this assumes that the current winds are ignored in addition to assuming a coordinated turn... The current system that I am using only gets updates at 1 Hz which might be a bit low, but I'm thinking of getting the Garmin 18 5 Hz unit which should be sufficiently fast in its update rate... |
