Flaps in a Turn

There has been a long discussion already on the factors regarding flaps and the stall.

The stall speed is increased during a turn and the result of stalling with flap can be sudden and surprising but made much worse when with an angle of bank!

Turning at say 500' above the threshold, a height which may be much lower than that AGL, at the point the turn is made onto final, is not wise.
