The good thing about this thread is at least some pilots may have
gained second thoughts about on purpose steep banks. The principal
posters have made their points, to which I might add "legal" does not
mean "wise" and the hope is we have become somewhat wiser.

Very well stated. As you stated legal doesn't mean wise for those
exceeding their capability. I did not feel I exceeded my piloting
capabilities and still remained within legal parameters of FARS 91.303
and 91.307. Outcome speaks for itself.

A lesser bank for inexperienced pilots would be potentially a fatal
manuever.

As I stated earlier, I have no need to do this again, but in an
emergency at least now I am a little better prepared for how things
can happen quickly.

Why NOT learn without the duress of an actual emergency?
