Rotorbee - we used to teach steep turns (60 deg AoB) in both the Gazelle and the Lynx and you can reach a steady state holding 2g with the speed stable (about 60 kts in the Gazelle and 80 Kts in the Lynx).

You do sacrifice speed initially during the entry but eventually it is power that is holding you up rather than flare effect.

In both aircraft this steady state was achieved at almost max continuous power - in more powerful aircraft you could probably manage steady state at either higher AoB or higher speed.

No coloured pencils required, no international qualifications, just an ex-mil QHI who still flys both types.
