Turning into wind is a good safety procedure, but it is a nicety, and thus should not detract from the critical issues of stopping, fuel off and evacuating.
- nor does it. Since it takes place (where possible) in the last second or two of the stop it interferes with nothing and would have prevented a large number of deaths at MAN had it been the SOP then. I would raise your 'nicety' to a 'desirable'.
