    first 90°. While the angle of bank is fixed during the first 90°, recall that as airspeed decreases, the overbanking tendency increases. [Figure 10-3C] As a result, proper use of the ailerons allows the bank to remain…

    during level constant-altitude turns affect the airplane during climbing turns. Compensation for the inherent stability of the airplane, overbanking tendencies, adverse yaw, propeller effects, reduction of the vertical component of lift, and increased drag needs to be managed…

  • Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Level Turns › Establishing a Turn

    relaxed or adjusted, depending on the established bank angle, to compensate for the airplane’s inherent stability or overbanking tendencies. The airplane should remain at the desired bank angle with the proper application of aileron pressure. If the desired bank…

    exceeding the design load limit. In addition to the increased load factors, the airplane will exhibit what is called “overbanking tendency” as previously discussed in Chapter 3, Basic Flight Maneuvers. In most flight maneuvers, bank angles are shallow enough that…
