Approaching ROLLOUT from a 360° steep turn, the pilot should begin reducing bank approximately

Choices

exactly at the original heading.
Rolling out at target heading overshoots due to roll-rate inertia.
✓ at half the bank angle before the original heading.correct
for a 45° bank turn, begin rolling out 22-23° of heading before the target. Standard rollout lead: bank angle / 2 = degrees of heading to lead by. For a 45° bank, start rollout 22° before target heading. For 60° bank, lead by 30°. This compensates for the time it takes to roll out and stop the turn. Precise rollout is part of ACS standard for steep turns (within 10° of entry heading).
after passing the original heading.
Rolling out late always overshoots.
rollout doesn't matter for steep turns.
Precise rollout is in the ACS standard.
