What's a "level 60 degree turn"?


One where you don't lose or gain altitude.

But I know what you're getting at! :-)


The guy who gives me my BFR usually askes me for a level 70 degree
tlurn each way. Is that unusual?

Yes, it's a little unusual. I think the FARs require that you wear
a parachute to do that. There are exemptions for manuevers required
for a rating, but I don't think a 70 degree banked turn is one of
them.
