LOAD FACTORS AND FLIGHT MANEUVERS - TURNS
Increased load factors are a characteristic of all banked turns. Load factors become significant both to flight performance and to the load on wing structure as the bank increases beyond approximately 45°.
The yield factor of the average light plane is reached at a bank of approximately 70° to 75°, and approximately one-half at a bank of approximately 63° increases the stalling speed.
