on second thoughts, you must actually be moving sideways towards the
direction of bank, so you are not in fact moving in the direction of motion.
Geez this is an interesting question. Makes me question just what straight
and level really means. Does straight just mean that your heading is not
changing or does it mean that in the absence of wind if you are at point A
pointing towards point B you will actually get there ( which would mean you
are pointing in the direction of motion and hence coordiated). Does level
just mean constant altitude or wings parallel to the ground. I have confused
myself now.
