Rate and radius of turn with confined area operations.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Rate and radius of turn with confined area operations.

Bottom line

As the airspeed is increased in a constant-rate level turn, the radius of the turn increases. Intentional slips are especially useful in forced landings and in situations where obstacles need to be cleared during approaches to confined areas.
