While I haven’t flown a lighty for a while, I did fly a lot for many years and I don’t recall any of them having any requirements, restrictions or recommendations in their POH about the extension or retraction of flaps in a turn. This is one of those little wives tales that has been handed down from generation to generation of flying instructors and GA pilot as fact. Fact is it’s BS. Flaps are rated for all regimes of flight specified in the POH, period.
