.. you appear to have the basics .. now a demo with your instructor, some practice and you're away ..

(a) 60 deg bank - balanced level turn

(b) yoke/stick to maintain the bank - stick load will vary among aircraft

(c) yoke/stick back load to maintain the turn - stick load as above

(d) rudder depends on the aircraft but, for most recent light aircraft, will be a touch of "bottom" rudder

(e) extra power to maintain speed - the load factor results in increased drag so you need more thrust

Now see how much practice before you can keep the turn ± 20 feet on the altimeter.

Also fun if you descend ever so slightly and catch up with your own slipstream.
