Yes, they didn't lose control and the plane didn't break, so it was within it's "physical" performance. Well within? I highly doubt it but cannot prove it otherwise.
Now, there is an operative approved envelope that says, for example, you shall not bank past 30° (what they did), and as soon as you reach 35°, a "bank angle, bank angle" alarm will sound in the cockpit. Not only that, but banks at low speed and altitudes are proceduraly more restricted than that. Yes, it's a "legal" or "procedural" limitation to the performance. But do you think that they established it just because they were too bored and had nothing better to do?
