Standard rate turn is a standardized rate at which the aircraft will make a 360 degree turn in two minutes (120 seconds). Standard rate turn is indicated on turn coordinator or turn-slip indicator. All turns during flights under instrument rules shall be made at standard turn rate, but no more than 30 degrees of bank.
Traffic sign recognition (TSR) systems can recognize common traffic signs, such as a “stop” sign or a “turn ahead” sign, through image processing techniques. [54] This system takes into account the sign's shape, such as hexagons and rectangles, and the color to classify what the sign is communicating to the driver. [54]
A standard rate turn is defined as a 3° per second turn, which completes a 360° turn in 2 minutes. This is known as a 2-minute turn, or rate one (180°/min). Fast airplanes, or aircraft on certain precision approaches, use a half standard rate ('rate half' in some countries), but the definition of standard rate does not change.
The controlled detour at 37,000ft west of the Faroe Islands took just less than 10 minutes and occurred shortly after 8.30pm on Monday.
In the turn coordinator, the gyro is canted 30 degrees from the horizontal so it responds to roll as well as yaw. The display contains hash marks for the pilot's reference during a turn. When the needle is lined up with a hash mark, the aircraft is performing a "standard rate turn" which is defined as three degrees per second, known in some ...
A loop is when the pilot pulls the plane up into the vertical, continues around until they are heading back in the same direction, like making a 360 degree turn, except it is in the vertical plane instead of the horizontal. The pilot will be inverted (upside down) at the top of the loop.

Signs including Stop, Yield, No Turns, No Trucks, No Parking, No Stopping, Minimum Speed, Right Turn Only, Do Not Enter, Weight Limit, and Speed Limit are considered regulatory signs. Some have special shapes, such as the octagon for the Stop sign, the triangle for the Yield sign, and the crossbuck for railroad crossings.
