I have only recently got my licence and the grand total of 0.8hrs on my log book since passing the skills test (Bl@@dy Weather), so somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe I am correct in saying that one of the less expected nasty ones is a turn from up wind to down wind through 180.

Say for example head wind is 30 knots (IAS reads 90) and you pull a steep 180 degree turn to the right (or left) your stall speed goes up anyway( due to steep angle of bank), but then all of a sudden you have lost 30 knots of airspeed because you are flying down wind.

Stall and Spin territory

Somebody slap me if I'm wrong!
