What load factor does an aircraft experience in a steady level turn banked at \( 60 \) degrees?
Answer: A
Correct answer: 2.0
In a steady level turn the vertical component of lift must equal the weight, so \[ n = \frac{1}{\cos\phi} = \frac{1}{\cos 60^\circ} = \frac{1}{0.5} = 2.0. \] The relation depends only on bank angle - not on speed, weight or aircraft type - and it rises steeply beyond 60 degrees.
