The turn (symbol tr or pla) is a unit of plane angle measurement that is the measure of a complete angle—the angle subtended by a complete circle at its center. One turn is equal to 2 π radians , 360 degrees or 400 gradians .
A half-turn may refer to: One half of a full turn, an angle measure equivalent to 180 degrees or π radians Considering only points in a plane, a half turn is equivalent to a point reflection; Pi (π), a mathematical constant representing a half-turn in radians; A U-turn: a driving maneuver used to reverse direction
An angle equal to 1 / 2 turn (180° or π radians) is called a straight angle. [5] An angle larger than a straight angle but less than 1 turn (between 180° and 360°) is called a reflex angle. An angle equal to 1 turn (360° or 2 π radians) is called a full angle, complete angle, round angle or perigon.
If every internal angle of a simple polygon is less than a straight angle (π radians or 180°), then the polygon is called convex. In contrast, an external angle (also called a turning angle or exterior angle) is an angle formed by one side of a simple polygon and a line extended from an adjacent side. [1]: pp. 261–264
As a coincidence, 1 NM is about 6,000 feet (6,076.1 feet) so we can use the 60:1 rule for this too. For a 1 degree shift at 1 NM, there are about 100 feet of offset. This becomes very useful for estimating or correcting vertical speed settings and flight path angles (FPA) during climb, descent, or approaches.
