Box canyon turn?

[alfadog]

Would some of y'all with mountain flying experience please clue me in on the box canyon turn?

Let us say you are in level cruise at a speed faster than Vfe. To make a box canyon turn, do you?

1. Raise nose and simultaneously add full power.
2. Drop flaps when speed drops to Vfe.
3. Continue raising nose as needed until about 1.5 Vso.
4. Bank 45 degrees to a 180 or as needed, lowering nose as needed to maintain 1.5 Vso.

In westerns it seems someone often ends up riding into a box canyon being chased by a posse or some bad guys.
