It's true that inertial mass can be framed in terms of the earth's rotational axis - I concede your point. However, both the aircraft and its supporting air mass are subject to the same forces (coriolis, centrifugal, gravitational), and are therefore in the same inertial frame of reference to the earth. To all intents, the supporting air mass
is the frame of reference for the aircraft.
That aside, if I read correctly, what you are saying is that, as soon as an aircraft changes direction, there is a change in inertial frames of reference between the aircraft and its supporting air mass. If so, then that inertial change must be measurable in relation to the air mass, and therefore show up as a change in airspeed.
I do not doubt there is such a change.
But in terms of the
measurable difference between the two frames of reference of the aircraft and air mass, is it enough to stall a wing?
We are talking about an aircraft flying at circuit speed at 1000', and not the Space Shuttle, after all.
