I've changed my mind. I agree with the minority now.

The downwind turn/loss of lift phenomenon does exist in gusty conditions.

But as cowabunga438 has indicated:

The crosswind turn/loss of lift phenomenon in gusty conditions also exists .

The upwind turn/loss of lift phenomenon in gusty conditions also exists.

The little bit crosswind and little bit downwind at the same time turn/loss of lift phenomenon in gusty conditions also exists.




I think licenses should be endorsed for "Flight Restricted To Calm Wind Conditions" until this topic is fully understood

FIS.
