Would a 50 mph aircraft holding a ground pattern in a 20 mph cross wind risk stalling by abruptly rolling away from a crosswind?
This is another play on the "down wind turn myth".
We all know a plane flying in a "uniformly moving airmass" is not affected by wind direction and speed.
But a plane following a ground track must ...

Does climbing or descending affect the rate of turn?
In the past, I used to have this idea that if all other factors remain constant, then climbing increases the rate of turn while descending decreases it. This idea was most likely planted into my mind ...

How to compute final aircraft attitude, if we know starting attitude and degrees of rotation around each axis? (Specific example)
I'm flying due north (000 degrees heading), with bank angle of 0 degrees and a pitch attitude of 0 degrees.
I roll the airplane 30 degrees to the right, rotating only around the aircraft's roll axis (...
