Now I always thought that yaw was defined as rotation about the yaw axis, and that the yaw axis was perpendicular to the lateral and longitudinal axes. So all this talk about the nose yawing around the horizon (except with wings level) and needing 90 degrees of bank to turn without yaw is all a little strange ... or have I got my definitions wrong?
