I was running out of a holding pattern today. My canned clearance is H130 S250 kts. I started bending this one 75 towards the arrival and he just wasn't turning fast enough. Someone said if you resume his speed, he will turn faster. Then I can just give him a crossing restriction for what I need.
Doesn't make sense to me. If an a/c speeds up, will it turn tighter, at least get over to an assigned heading. This of course assumes the pilot is doing something other than standard rate. I've never flown anything that big, so I have no clue what a turn rate would be. 1/2 SR?
