I dunno. I might be wary of a 180 at skosh altitude if the air was turbulent, ie a thermal off the end of the runway. That puts the variable of airspeed potentially outside my control.

Presumably, you, like most pilots, do steep turns in turbulent thermals every flight while keeping the airspeed within a narrow, safe margin.

BTW, define "skosh altitude" precisely.
