Bank Angle: The angle between the horizontal plans and the right wing in the lateral plane, positive when the right wing is down.

Bermuda I Agreement - The agreement that governed scheduled air transport services between the U.S. and the U.K. until it was replaced in 1977, was signed on Feb. 11, 1946, and came to be known as the 'Bermuda Agreement.

Choosing the bank angle
In some faster aircraft it might be found that the turn back requires a steep turn, entered at a safe airspeed [ say 1.
Φ = the bank angle
r = yaw rate which is approximately equal tot be rate of turn
V = flight velocity ...
In addition to the bank angle continually changing we must also remember to fly the airplane at a constant altitude of 600 feet above the ground. To accomplish this our field of vision will continually be changing.
During the second 90 degrees of the change of heading, the pitch angle is held constant, while the bank angle is smoothly decreased to reach 0 degrees of bank, ...
If the above combination, where rudder exactly balances the bank angle, isn’t balanced, e.g.
An airplane can be banked to 90°, but a continued coordinated turn is impossible at this bank angle without losing altitude.
You'll notice that once you pass 30 degrees of bank, you'll need to disproportionately increase elevator back pressure to maintain altitude (load factor increases noticeably at larger bank angles).
Leaving maximum room to turn also means that less bank angle is required and therefore less wing loading and lower stall speed (which increases with bank angle).

A control surface located on the trailing edge of each wing tip. Deflection of these surfaces controls the roll or bank angle of the aircraft.
