To maintain altitude during a turn, you must directly coordinate the amount of steering input with the amount of throttle increase because of the loss in vertical lift, as covered in Chapter 2. To make a shallow turn, only a modest amount of steering control input and throttle increase is required. As the steering input is applied, you will also simultaneously apply the corresponding amount of throttle increase to maintain level flight throughout the turn.

The greater the bank angle, the greater the throttle required to remain in level flight. Also, with increased bank, greater skill is required to reduce the pendulum effect when coming out of the turn or reversing the direction of the turn. [Figure 6-5]
