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

You have to wait until you have enough

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

Better response that I teach is to promptly establish the required
gliding attitude, which will no doubt be somewhat mor noe low than
attitude on tow.
