"So in my Dalaman example you are going to fly 24 times 3 equals one minute 12 seconds past the abeam point before starting your turn?"

3 sec per 100' above ground. Fly 70 seconds in track and alt if you want.

Pan ops procedure design is based upon the maximum speed for that category being 205 kts IAS for CAT D converted to TAS for that height plus 25 kts for wind (236 kts in this case). Config 3 gear down you are not even close to that. Airbus also recommends the Vapp is inserted as a constraint on the FAF.

I don't make adjustments for wind, if it's beyond 25 kts it's beyond the design limits.

Turns are based upon 20 deg AoB or 3 deg/sec whichever is the lower.
