For those who still believe in the old turning downwind furphy, despite the best efforts of the headmaster et al: Have a think about what happens if you fly constant-AOB orbits in a jet at higher levels in a steady 100 kt jetstream. Does the jet just go round and round at pretty much constant IAS, or does it alternate between stalling and overspeeding as it turns in and out of the wind?
