Why does this stop during a 30 bank turn?
... because you stop at 30 degrees of bank. The lift you require is now a constant, so the drag you generate is now constant, so the thrust you have counteracts the drag by a constant amount. Therefore the the speed you end up with remains constant until you change either the lift, the drag or the thrust.
