Thank so far,

I don't WANT to do downwind quickstops but I just want to understand what happens.

TH: You have grasped the point that I was trying to make. In the flare the disc is tilited backwards. This surely has the same effect as a descent when you're moving forwards.

Now, with power applied, low air speed and this rate of descent I don't see why I wouldn't get into SWP / VR when INTO wind.

DtP
