One other item on flaps -

As was indicated in some other reply, applying flaps while turning may 
not be a good idea. The reason given was to avoid having to do too 
much at one time.

There's another reason: Depending on the design of the flap system on
your airplane, it may be possible for a failure to leave you with
asymmetrical flaps. Now, if you happen to be turning into the failed
(up) flap, your control problems will be significantly increased,
since the airplane will want to keep banking in the direction the
airplane is already banked in.
