Forgot point number 3. You can't just point the nose down and start your
turn back to the airport.

You have to wait until you have enough
airspeed to pull that off.


Why? If the simulated break is made at normal tow speed there is
sufficient speed to start the turn immediately.

Because most students don't start the turn immediately. Tye typical
reaction time is 3 seconds - with the nose high. The nose pointing down
does not necessarily mean that you can turn safely is all that I'm saying.
