The landing pattern changes dramatically when the wind crosses the canopy full drive speed.

When the wind speed approaches 10 m/s from below, the pattern appears like run-run-run-turn 180-wait-wait-wait-wait-for-it-land. Maybe we should change to some face-into-the-wind mode a bit earlier than 10 m/s.

Might be a non-issue because those speeds are on the edge of the canopy possibilities anyway.

I think this: it has to be non-continuous due to the fact that there is indeed a moment where we have to switch to "not showing our back to the wind" strategy. And this will inevitably bring the 300m point closer to the target.

However, if we introduce more involved landing strategies, for example, holding in deeper brakes facing into the wind on the downwind leg, we can make this continuous.
