There is an aviation maneuver for doing a high banked turn during landing... it's called a "Ground Loop".... That's when you dig one wing tip into the dirt at just a shade below landing speed, say.. 70 mph, and then roll the airplane ass over tea cup until all speed and occupants are "bled off".
Usually followed by the FAA crash investigators filing a report headed "Cause of Death, Pilot Error", and an insurance report headed, "Aircraft total loss, Claim Denied" FYI, successful landings and takeoffs are made "straight ahead, into the wind".
