### More about Bank

Bank is expressed as an angle. In a right bank, the right wing is lower than the left. Pilots monitor it using attitude information.

Ailerons or other lateral-control surfaces establish bank. In a steady turn, the tilted lift force changes the flight path, but bank is not itself yaw or heading change.
