Of course they don't, I use steep angles because I am familiar with formation flying (15 years of T-6 with the CAF buddies) so I am very used to doing it that way, if you have a shallow angle the turn is very wide and you risk misjudging the point of landing. But is all based on throttle off, dirty airplane and using only elevators and turn to reach point X. It can be done with precision and there is a lot of room for correction as long as you don't go too far out in the turn from the threshold and end up short. The added advantage is that once you become familiar with the attitude the speed should be constant in the turn, if not something is wrong. For instance my T-6 is really an snj-5 and the flap lever cycles for 2-3 seconds and sometimes the flaps (or the gear) does not come down - a common occurrence- but remember I have a lot of altitude to bleed out in the turn and always it should be 90 knots, if the speed shows 110 120 something is wrong a quick look at the settings and the plane is telling you that something is out of whack. It's all practice, practice and practice. But when learned how to do it correctly you can grease it down and the roll is very short because you reach the ground at the 3 point position. Also the plane in the overhead turn should be trimmed way down so that you can almost let go of the controls and the plane continues with a smooth turn. Sent from my iPad

Andres -- just out of curiosity... does Hipat actually encourage steep bank angles during these turns, or do you mean that the airplane's *descending* at a steep angle (and the bank angles are fairly normal, like 30 deg)? -- Charley Brown

And I forgot that
Hipat training when an engine failure occurs is to get into position alpha then beta and then overhead 360 with everything down flaps high pitch prop, gear down and STEEP 90 degree turn to the numbers keeping the appropriate speed (120 kts in IV-P and EVO, 90 knots in a T -6) so when your engine fails and you have the airport in sight with adequate altitude what are you going to do? Avoid steep turns ? I can see the crash short of the threshold or at the end of the runway, maybe pete Zacagnino can give you some tips on the above
Join lobo and get hipat training. Tell jeff I sent you
