Level Attitude said:
Here's one for the Boffins:

In order for an aircraft in a steady, banked, level turn to the left to maintain a constant flying attitude (as seen out of the front windscreen) it MUST, by definition, be continuously Yawing to the left, Rolling to the right and Pitching up.

Discuss...........
Not much to discuss.
If the machine did a totally flat turn (no bank) then it is ALL yaw.
If it turned at 90 deg bank, it is ALL pitch up.
A co-ordinated turn, (balanced and less than 90 degrees) then it will involve left yaw and pitch up.

But I can't see the roll - where does that come in?
