I'm not sure what "out of sync with each other" means (or "in sync" for

well.
Can you elaborate on your terminology?

Sure. At the start of the maneuver, no pitch, no bank, etc... Start
banking and pitching. Now, the maximum pitch occurs at the 45 degree point,
at which point the pitch is reduced to level at the 90 degree point in the
maneuver, and then the minimum pitch (max down) occurs at the 135 degree
point. So, the minimum and maximum pitch up and down occur at the 45, 135,
etc degree positions. However, the bank is zero at the start, and maximum
at the 90 degree position, and then zero again at the 'bottom'. So the
minimum and maximum bank left and right occur at the 0, 90, 180, etc
positions.

IMHO, if a student is simultaneously pitching and banking 'in sync', they
are doing it wrong. Recap: At the start, you start pitching and banking.
When you get to the 45 degree position, you keep increasing the bank, but
start decreasing the pitch etc. I believe the Jeppesen book shows this
well.
