The bank angle required for a standard rate turn is given by the formula:
$
Φ = \tan^-¹(\frac{3}{1091}v)
$
where $v$ is the true airspeed of the aircraft in knots, and $Φ$ is the bank angle in degrees.
This is derived from the [[Rate of Turn]] formula. The FAA and ICAO define a standard rate turn as 3° per second.
