Any manuvering as in b or c will cost more than a plain efficient turn, option a would be fine if there is a crosswind to the course, turn into the wind for the shortest ground track around the turn. D is the best option for two reasons: you know you have to fly back out through sink, so tanking up is good, also if the wind is generally along the outbound course, you will be drifting toward the next turn while climbing. This is based on the old logic of arriving low at downwind turns and high at upwind turns. Do you mean "when turning downwind" and "when turning upwind"? If not I'm gonna need some help understanding this. Thanks, Shawn |
