Not saying you don't see the data but what you're saying doesn't make sense to me. Surely on a banked turn the forces on the oil are forcing it more towards the bottom of the sump than the side. Ie the G forces are pushing down. Hard cornering on a flat surface, by contrast, would have the forces pushing sideways. I presume that oiling issues occur when centripetal force pushes the oil away from the scavenge pumps. Logically that occurs on a flat surface rather than a banked one - what am I missing?
