What type of turn is produced when the aircraft is banked at a specific angle and the turn is maintained without changing heading?

A coordinated turn is achieved when the aircraft is banked at a specific angle, allowing the pilot to maintain a constant rate of turn without changing its heading. In this scenario, the aircraft's resultant forces (lift and weight) are balanced, and the vertical component of lift must exactly counteract the weight while maintaining a horizontal component to facilitate the turn. This balance results in a smooth, consistent turn that is efficient and comfortable for passengers and crew.

In contrast, other types of turns may not involve maintaining a specific bank angle or heading. A standard rate turn is characterized by a specific degrees-per-minute rate of turn but does not inherently mean that it is coordinated. Timed turns generally refer to the act of turning for a specific duration, irrespective of the rate of turn or the aircraft's bank angle. An uncoordinated turn can occur when there is a lack of proper control inputs, leading to adverse yaw and possibly causing the aircraft to roll or yaw unexpectedly.
