I'm a pilot.  A standard instrument in small planes is the turn
and bank indicator or turn coordinator.  These are calibrated
for what is called a standard rate turn, or a 2-minute turn. The
bank angle for this rate of turn is usually much less than 30
degrees, but depends on airspeed.  It shows the bank angle you
have to hold to turn 360 degrees in 2 minutes.  It is also the
rate of turn one should use in flying the pattern to takeoff and
land.
