TAS you are correct, it should be GS squared in the pivotal altitude formula.

TAS will be constant however GS will vary based on winds.

Why TAS to find pivotal altitude and not GS?since TAS will remain constant at the same altitude

Low, slow and uncoordinated flight = dangerous, use of rudder is required to maintain coordinated flight not to be used to point the wing at the pylon.

why is using rudder pressure in eights on pylons considered dangerous? (AFH 6-15)

In the process of getting a CFII rating reinstated, thanks for the ideas.
