L2, this seems to be an easy one, please correct me if I'm wrong. In a hover in a 60kt wind we're flying straight and level. Ok, we adjust IAS by 5kt, but in any EC I've flown, .5 FLI will not support a 45 degree turn (I will say now that I do not fly L2), and certainly not if we are still accelerating, so surely we descend, regardless of all previous arguments.
