Perhaps it should be renamed Landing Check, then it would not matter if you
are downwind to land or straight in it's a Landing check. Which is surely the point

Exactly why a rigid downwind check is not a good idea, but training to have the glider in the correct configuration for phase of flight is. In an ideal world, the 2 coincide. When they don't, expect trouble.
