Yeah - I was a little reluctant the first couple of times I was told to execute a "well-banked turn onto finals" at about 60k in a K21 (unaccelerated stall at MAUW is ~40kts I think), but I'm happy enough doing it now. Not sure I want to do it much slower than that, though one instructor suggests I should pull the whole base/final segment back to 50...
But I was particularly interested in the suggestion that well-banked turns are less likely to produce a spin than, say, a gentle 15 degrees. Anybody got any more info on that bit? Or is it just because there's less chance of a subconscious boot to the rudder to pull the nose round?
