Yes, except maximum turn rate occurs in smooth airflow not buffeting. The buffet is often used to find this point and then backing off to smooth air.

If you turn in the buffet, your rate will decrease and your radius increase.

The more high energy the buffet, the greater the effect.
For once a posting that I totally agree with.

As to how to replicate the buffet in the game, I suggested once that in the ideal world everyone would have a feedback controller which would vibrate. However we have to recognise that this will not be the case so I suggested a visual cue where the cockpit view would vibrate.

Now back to the question yet to be replied to

Crumpp
Do you tell your students that leading edge slats :-
a) are a device that delays the stall or
b) Is an anti spin device.

Do you agree that the correct solution is (a)?
