    If you want to use the console
    1. Fly the plane
    2. Press ~ to open the console
    3. Type debugExpression -PitchRate
    4. The game will show you in the top left your pitch rate in deg/sec

    Ez method
    1. Take label and put it on your plane
    2. Enter in the text field: {PitchRate} or {rate(Yaw)}
    3. Fly your plane
    4. Read the label. The value is in degrees per second.
    5. Congratulations, you have made a label with funky tree output
    There is also a method using the dev console. It gives you the same info.

    You could try using a calculator like this one to find how long it would take the aircraft to make a turn based on its speed, stall speed, and bank angle (the result of which can be easily converted into a simple degrees per second value).
    Alternatively you could just time how long it takes you to make a certain (e.g. 180 degree) turn and then convert that to degrees per second.
