I believe this is correct for a coordinated turn (proper application of rudder input in relation to ailerons.) Unfortunately I've been on a ride or two when the pilot has allowed the aircraft to skid or slip in the turn resulting in the ruin of a new pair of suede shoes (not mentioning USair by name).
