Using Fig 2.29 (Constant Altitude, Steady Turn Performance) in "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators" (NAVWEPS 00-80T-80) on can find that at 200 KTAS and a 60 degree banked turn, the radius is 2000 feet. Thus, Pi x D = 12566 feet or 2.07 Nautical Miles. The turning radius for 200 KTAS, 30 degrees is about 6000 feet or 3 times that of a 60 degree turn. Thus, taking turns at 30 degrees would add 6.2 NM to the course.
