Well, E-gene, this thread, DWT, previously that turned into a towing
hawser, has had several lives on at least two UL listservs. A short
while ago I thought surely we were almost about to dig up The Dreaded
Downwind Turn, but perhaps fortunately, many of the Old Hands either
didn't take up the cudgel, or were too disenchanted by the wounds
visited upon then in The Old Days.
Basically, there are two camps, both seemingly correct, and both with
equal vociferosity. In a nut shell, one faction believes that in a
Down Wind Turn you will most certainly Fall Outa The Sky if your
airspeed is at or very near to stalling. The other POH-thumpers
merely say Hog Wash, often declaiming The Moving Airmass Dogma, aka
"boat in moving water" doctrine.
Personally, I "learned" to fly before I'd ever heard of this Dreaded
Phantasmagoria, and consequently flew with the What You Don't Know
Won't Hurt You philosophy. But here's a way out of doing the Downwind
Turn, patterned after J.Edgar Hoover's dictum of No Left Turns after
his driver made a left turn and had an accident...just make a
straight in, or at worst, enter from base leg.
