Don't read about it. Fly it.
Every tile below is the real thing, working right now — a verified exam question, a decoded METAR, the wind sim's ground track. No signup to try any of it. Every claim cited.

Wind makes or breaks the maneuver
This is the real sim, not a screenshot — set the wind, pick the maneuver, and watch groundspeed drive the bank the ACS grades you on.
Turns around a point at 95 knots airspeed, correcting for a 12 knot wind from 360 degrees. Groundspeed 83 to 107 knots. Up to 7 degrees of crab. Bank 24 to 37 degrees — shallowest upwind, steepest downwind.
Turns around a point — constant radius over the ground means the bank is steepest at the downwind point and shallowest upwind.
