Turns

Turns are perhaps the most potentially dangerous maneuver for the untrained instrument pilot for two reasons:

When a turn must be made, the pilot must anticipate and cope with the relative instability of the roll axis. The smallest practical bank angle should be used—in any case no more than 10° bank angle. A shallow bank takes very little vertical lift from the wings resulting in little if any deviation in altitude. It may be helpful to turn a few degrees and then return to level flight if a large change in heading must be made. Repeat the process until the desired heading is reached. This process may relieve the progressive overbanking that often results from prolonged turns.

   The normal tendency of the pilot to overcontrol, leading to steep banks and the possibility of a “graveyard spiral.”
...
...
   The inability of the pilot to cope with the instability resulting from the turn.
