It's either a level turn in which case that is what it should be or a descending or climbing turn.
It is good practice to be comfortable with all!
Try a descending turn to level still in the turn at a set altitude all good practice ;
As stated I have been with IR rated pilots in Cas who bust a level!
On realising that they act in slow motion till the inevitable bollocking by ATC!
Why ? There are times to grab the thing by the horns and quickly and firmly plant it where it should be ! It is the same with small altitude excursions wings level or in a bank!
