That is for a club check out???
What club requires a steep turn of exactly 60 degrees bank? The requirements for PPL are for 45 degrees or more. As far as I'm concerned, if someone can accurately maintain altitude and speed with something which looks to me like at least 45 degrees, that's fine. And if they can't, it's not the highest thing on my list of priorities - so long as they can recognise and recover from the spiral dive which will most likely result, they're not going to break my aeroplane or kill themselves because they lost 100' or their turn had 5 degrees less AoB than I asked for. I did the whole of my 170A for my CPL with no vacuum pump after discovering it had failed half way through the navigation leg.
On the plus side, if the instructor is so bothered by a minor upset like a failed vacuum pump, at least that suggests that the club has high maintenance standards!!!
