The primary reason the angle of attack must be increased, to maintain a constant altitude during a
coordinated turn, is because the
Thrust is acting in a different direction, causing a reduction in airspeed and loss of lift.
Vertical component of lift has decreased as the result of the bank.
Use of ailerons has increased the drag.
Which is true regarding the use of flaps during level turns?
Raising flaps will require added forward pressure on the yoke or stick.
The raising of flaps increases the stall speed.
