How to Evaluate Lift Coefficient for given wing loading and turn radius?

Lift Coefficient for given wing loading and turn radius evaluator uses Lift Coefficient = 2*Wing Loading/(Freestream Density*Turn Radius*[g]) to evaluate the Lift Coefficient, The Lift Coefficient for given wing loading and turn radius formula suggests that the lift coefficient is directly proportional to the wing loading and inversely proportional to the product of freestream density, turn radius, and gravitational acceleration, it implies that for a given wing loading and turn radius, the lift coefficient required increases as the density of the air decreases (at higher altitudes). Lift Coefficient is denoted by CL symbol.
