Default Head orientation in turns--how is it taught for aviation?

Just point us at the definition.

Barrel roll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

....

Wikipedia is not more reliable than you and me talking over a beer. That
said:


"... a 360 degrees roll around the aircraft's zero lift axis, producing
positive g throughout, starting and finishing at the same altitude in
horizontal flight and parallel to the competition axis. For a perfect
result the rate of roll should be constant, although this is not a
universal requirement.

.... a mixture of a roll and a loop ...

The amount of g pulled, the extent (below 90 degrees) of displacement of
the fuselage axis, and the diameter and shape of the "tunnel" will
depend on he aircraft's speed and rate of roll: they do not form part of
the judging criteria."
