Describe effects on aircraft performance during a turn.
Description should include the following:
- Applying aileron pressure is necessary to place the aircraft in the desired angle of bank, while simultaneous application of rudder pressure is necessary to counteract the resultant adverse yaw.
- Because more lift is required during a turn than during straight-and-level flight, the AOA must be increased by applying elevator back pressure. The steeper the turn, the more elevator back pressure is needed.
