Who the hell enters this 'side slip' to land without changing their heading? How many pilots do you know who typically set up at an angle to the runway and then slip without without changing their heading as if to replicate that runway drill? It can be done, but again, why? That is not what...

You still don't understand that to hold your heading constant as you return the airplane to the original ground track CANNOT be done simply by neutralizing the controls. You will need to manipulate the rudder and ailerons in a slipping turn the other way. You WILL learn this, I guarantee. No...

Nope, he uses 'sideslip' to describe the type of slip used for both losing altitude and aligning for a x-wind. If I was aviation king, I'd purge the forward slip and side slip nonsense from the lexicon and just say 'slip'. :) Think of the internet bandwidth that would be freed up...

This is the problem with the internet. People get so butthurt that their brains shut down. Where does Mr. Langeweische say that you cannot slip in both directions without drifting off track? But really, you're in no condition to try to actually continue an intelligent discussion.

I will. I'll also wait for a real x-windy day and slip in both directions without drifting off runway track. :eek: You know, since that wing into the wind is what is "canceling the x-wind". ;) LOL. Nope just the folks who get all worked up over side vs. forward slip. That was NOT Mr...

LOL. Glad you won. Remind us what you won? :)

He's foaming at the mouth at this point, no point in trying further reasoning. :)

Eddie, that's a good demo. Kudos to you for actually going up and doing some flying. Glad you survived the snowpocalypse and your runway is cleared. Yes, you did the runway drill, as I expected you would be able to. I never said it couldn't be done, and I've said I could perform the same...

Jeez, now you are equating flight path with the direction the nose is pointing. So you think that if you're slipping down final in a left x-wind, aligned and tracking the runway, that the airplane will drift to the right if you simply neutralize the slip? If you believe this, you need to shut...
