There is nothing dangerous with a steep turn down low as long as you protect your speed.
AdamFrisch,
nothing?
A and C, am with you but on a point of technicality our Flight Manual states 63 kts for scheduled performance etc.
For the record the load factor varies as the secant (ie 1/cosine) of the bank angle. Secant 45 degrees = 1.4 as near as dammit.
Stall speed increases by square root of the load factor - square root of 1.4 is circa 1.19 - there stall speed in 45 degree bank (level) turn increases by near enough 20%.
I knew there was a reason for all the trigonometry at school!
mad_jock, with you all the way about attitude flying etc.
