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 2π radians, 360 degrees or 400 gradians. As an angular unit, one turn also corresponds to one cycle (symbol cyc or c) [1] or to one revolution (symbol rev or r). [2]
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.
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.
11th edition of the MUTCD, published December 2023. In the United States, road signs are, for the most part, standardized by federal regulations, most notably in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and its companion volume the Standard Highway Signs (SHS).

The pilot dimmed the cabin lights to treat passengers to an unforgettable light show
My primary objection is to the definition in the second sentence--it is wrong--because it defines the turning distance as the one traveled by the wheels, which could only mean that the turning circle distance is the length of the arc that the wheels follow when turning the vehicle 180 degrees around. This is one of those misleading "sounds ...
