Hello All,
Just a thought but perhaps by 'downwind' he means flying the crosswind portion of the orbit on the downwind side of the spot
A picture in this case would be worth 1,000 words. At any point when you were flying directly with or against the wind there would be no wind correction angle ( extra angle of bank)...only the bank angle required to keep the orbit going round. On the crosswind leg on the upwind side of the orbit your bank angle would decrease slightly because the wind is drifting you towards the spot...then opposite effect on the dowind side of the spot flying the crosswind leg.
Just a thought from a former CFI now flying lots of orbits around powerlines.
