You do not have to take the wind into account, if you have 120 minutes approval, just take your driftdown speed and draw the circles.

Of course all airports need to be open (weather/notams/opening hours) when you actually might need them.

I do recall there was a certain allowance for the initial deceleration, not sure how much that was.
