    I always remember the difference between Forward & Side Slips this way:
    Forward Slip for falling.
    Side Slip for Center Line.
    HTH!

    Great exercise to recommend, but the front-only camera (while demonstrating aileron input nicely) isn't really showing the subtlety of the rudder action. I think it would benefit any students to also have a visual representation of yoke and rudder inputs as you are doing the exercise. Either a set of sensors for a digital recreation, or maybe a couple of pic-in-pic cameras.

    I started flying in gliders and was taught slips by my instructor primarily as a skill to use in case the dive brakes failed, the glider also had no flaps.
    When I took my private check ride the last thing the examiner did to me was simulate an engine failure on downwind and told me I couldn't use flaps.
    I'm not sure I would have passed if I wasn't so familiar with using slips to get down.
    Runway was only 3,000' long and surrounded by houses so I stayed a little high because I didn't want to come up short and I knew I could lose the altitude.

    Side slips have been my bane. My CFI explained it well, but I still was not understanding the difference between crabbing and side slipping. Then she had me follow her on the controls for an approach. I don't know what it was... maybe the fact that she was actually controlling the aircraft so I didn't have to worry about actually flying the thing, but the next approach around it all suddenly clicked. My CFI's glee that I frigging got it was so rewarding.

  • @fingerhorn4
    @fingerhorn4 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A side slip IS a slide-slip. "Forward Slip" is a (US) invention to describe exactly the same thing. ALL slips are forward. You can't have a backwards slip! Whether you are using it to aid descent rate by causing side slip drag, or you are "adjusting" on approach it is still a SIDE SLIP. A crab angle into a cross wind is NOT a sideslip. It is just that it looks like one, but in fact you are perfectly straight in the airstream. It just looks like you are "side-slipping" because the air stream is different relative to the ground. The"adjustment" exercise to line up with the runway could have been achieved by simply turning with a little bank in the direction you want. You are over-complicating things.
    Keep it simple!

      A Crosswind Slip is to touchdown when crosswind, It is a kind of slip too. It is not going side ways so it is not a Side Slip, neither is like The Downward or so called Forward Slip, It is called Forward due, You are going Forward, not Sideways on a Forward Slip. So 3 are called. There are 3 kinds of slips. I taught them all in my CFI years.

    • @fredericklarsen3076
      @fredericklarsen3076 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't think anyone says a crab angle into the wind is a side slip. It's weathervaning the plane enough to keep the ground track aligned with the runway heading. There is no cross control there.
      If you are crabbing to landing, at the end, to align the longitudinal axis of the of the plane with the runway you have to use your rudder to straighten the plane and to keep the plane from drifting, and you will need to apply aileron too. That is the "side slip" or crosswind slip.

    Very timely. My CFI and I were just working on this yesterday. I had a tendency to use more rudder and less aileron to straighten myself out after rounding out instead of the opposite. But this led to the crosswind still moving me off of centerline as I flared and touched down. Now I'm working to use more aileron and just a touch of rudder. Love the channel!

  • @aviatortrucker6285

    Works especially well in a tail dragger airplane. It is kind of a scary maneuver because while you’re low to the ground and you feel very uncoordinated thinking that the moment, if you stall, you’re going to spin. Without changing the pitch, airspeed will indicate lower than you normally are because of the slipstream going across the pitot tube at an angle. But as soon as you come out of the slip, your indicated airspeed will increase. The reaction is to lower the nose while in the slip and then when you straighten up, you’ll find yourself about 15 kts too fast.

Just wish any one of my 6 instructors could have given this to me early in training rather than me figuring from youtube and careful physics consideration after 100 hours of frustration.

I feel like side slips over the runway should be a part of the ACS.We're already training to fly 1kt above stall speed and still climb, descend, and turn. We're already working on spot landings. We're already working on power-off approaches with a fairly strict criteria. Why aren't we working on skills like this that only improve precision and physical skills? Part 141 programs are weird.

      If I calculate Vref in the plane I fly it's usually between 61-68Kias. But the CFI's want me to fly at 73Kias because "It's the gross weight standard and is the safest". Dude, we're 200lbs below gross weight. We're gonna float more than a hot air balloon in the winter.
      Like, bro, we're still at 1.3x Vso, chill. We have a good buffer. The field is 2,000 feet long. I'm not coming in with 10Kts of extra speed, and leading my aiming point by 500 feet. I'm coming in so that I touch down firmly immediately after my flare. But that scares the CFI.

      I bet it's because you need more of these kinds of exercises. I taught for 21 years; not flying, but teaching is teaching. Some who are in a position to teach just do a lot of observing. Since I started learning to fly and trying to learn from online videos, I see the same thing--some just say things like, "land straighter," or "get on the centre line." Well, that's stating the obvious, and usually no help to the student. Real teachers, like this guy, say, "Watch. I'll show you how to land straighter," or "Practice this maneuvre so you can improve getting right on centre line." Best I've seen.

    I though the note was interesting about not using full flaps in a lower-powered plane so you have reduced form-drag. I have a first-year (1968) 177 Cardinal with the O-320 so it pretty low powered. I feel like 30 deg full flaps should only be used if I'm coming into a shorter field and I'm 100% committed to the landing. Otherwise if I put in full flaps and have to do a go-around, after full power application the plane doesn't really accelerate much at all immediately. When I go to 20 deg flaps the plane wants to descend a little so of course, have to hold it off the runway and it starts to accelerate then. With a little more speed I go to 10 deg flaps and can climb at Vx but that whole process takes quite a horizontal distance so it's possible I could hit trees at the end of the runway. I think the 20 deg flaps approach significantly reduces the horizontal distance to build speed back and initate climb. Thoughts on this?

And side loading. This is little bit is all it took to ruin aviation for me. I hate landings, period, thus no flying as a pilot in 6 yrs. And I read that most aircraft mishaps are from ground directional control related issues. Geeez I miss it so much too.

But I cant find someone to get me over the fear.

    Your comment for a forward slip I might disagree. You said use full rudder and add aileron to keep directional control. I fly a Luscombe. I think the rudder is too effective to do it that way. I would be afraid of the terrible skid before getting enough aileron in. I have taught the same drift control for crosswind landings. Very good. A plane with less rudder authority you may get away with full rudder to start a forward slip. Let me know what you think please.

    the best way to teach this is to have them hold the airplane over the centerline while flying down the runway with the right amount of pitch and power to keep a level pitch attitude for good runway visibility. they learn even more with a nice little xwind thrown in! also dutch rolls an excellent old school maneuver to quickly teach aileron/rudder coordination. when i do tailwheel endorsements this is the first maneuver i teach. they are not allowed to even attempt a touchdown until they can fly a 5000 foot runway using ailerons for holding the centerline with the correct amount of opposite rudder to keep the fuselage aligned with the runway in changing wind conditions as well as staying in ground effect with pitch/power inputs.

    For crosswind approaches, sideslips work best with high-wing aircraft while crabbing works best for low-wing aircraft. Forward slipping is for emergencies when you have to get into a small field but are overshooting. If it isn't an emergency you can always go-around. Gliders also use forward slip as they don't get a second chance in a similar situation. Unless you have rudder pedals, most of this doesn't work on home flight simulators.

      Forward slip can even be done on a 767 when it is out of fuel, no flaps, and coming in a bit hot and a bit high, though for the passengers it probably feels a bit odd, and the controls feel a bit heavy since the RAT also becomes less efficient during the manoeuvre. On my flight sim, I found that adding the rudder pedals made my landings much easier.

    I love forward slips and hoped with them in the title, more would be said than just a full rudder type thing. In fact you might not be able to max a rudder or not even have a tail. You may have canard, spoilerons, or whatever so lets define it in principle. All slips promote a different compass heading than path of motion through the air. A side slip keeps compass heading forward with a diagonal path of motion. A forward slip keeps a forward path of motion with a diagonal compass heading. It should be called a downward slip because that is the effect you are trying to introduce. Although I could imagine it used with backstick to only slow a no-spoiler sailplane in unusual circumstances.

    Let's hope everyone trains in a high wing 😄 or else there might be an unwanted side effect 🤕 Of course the principle still applies but I rather train myself to control the planes position relative to the centerline with the yoke and the nose pointing down the runway with the rudder. How much is nothing for muscle memory if you, as I do, fly different planes all the time. And one more thing, be sure touchdown is not accidentally while you are still in a sideways motion relative to the centerline. Use a flight Sim, much cheaper to have "learning experiences" then cold deforming metal or of course a CFI.

    What is your RPM power setting while you are drilling side slips zig zagging down the runway? You are flying a 172 in this video, correct?

  • @logicturtle9838
    @logicturtle9838 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not a pilot but this exercise made me stupendously good at landings in all wind conditions in x-plane. One thing I noticed while trying to go side-to-side repeatedly in simulation is that you have to start rolling out of the bank during the zig before you reach the target line, but you have to maintain the rudder pressure until you reach the bank angle for the return zag due to adverse yaw. Then slowly transition to opposite rudder while maintaining the bank angle. So while the slip is normally opposite rudder and aileron, changing the direction of the slip requires a bit of coordinated rudder and aileron during that transition.
    I'd be interested to know how much, if any, of this applies to the real world.

    That runway in Byron is one of the best places around here for crosswind practice!

  • @goneflying140
    @goneflying140 ปีที่แล้ว

    I use this technique in crosswind landings. You can keep the ane centered and keep the nose pointed straight down the runway. Many times I land on one tire first on the side I am pulling the ailerons to. Left crosswind = land on left main tire first.

    So when you bank to the left, you hit the right rudder? I keep on digging and watching the video, trying to get the rudder selection😌

    • @karhukivi
      @karhukivi 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In a sideslip to correct for crosswind, yes - otherwise you will start turning towards the banked wing. The plane should still be pointing straight to the runway and not turning left. A forward slip is to lose height rapidly without speeding up, usually to get into a small field that you are overshooting.

  • @08cad

    Earned my PPL in a Citabria, small grass field, old school instructor, and forward slips were a requirement to learn/use! Also gave me a true sense of how to “fly” the plane! 😁

    4:09 - i dont think it was clear how you did that ie which way the aileron vs which side of rudder to push

    • @TheFinerPoints
      @TheFinerPoints  ปีที่แล้ว

      Bank in the direction want to move (with ailerons) and use just enough opposite runner to pre the the nose from coming I to the turn (keep it straight down the runway)

    At the 90 degree point in my RV one day, I noticed I was slightly high. I added a touch of rudder and a smidge of opposite aileron which turned out to be exactly the control input to counteract the slight drift at touch down and allowed me. At what point did the side slip become the misnamed forward slip...?

    • @jmitterii2
      @jmitterii2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Really a forward slip is the purpose that really makes it defined as something else.
      Forward slips are used to increase rate of descent while not increasing air speed.... too high or tower gives short approach instructions or other reasons you want or need to dump altitude quickly, but don't want to increase airspeed... a forward slip can be used. I love them.
      Sideslip is for directional control usually to counter act the requirement to have wing low to the side the x wind is coming from on final.
      Using opposite rudder allows the nose from going into a bank in that direction; and you can then control the nose with rudder while banking as much as needed to keep wing low to the side the x wind is coming from.
      And he's demonstrating how you can use the side slip for other reasons other than x wind landings... get blown off by a gust down center line. Which happens. Fairly common.
      Or whatever reason you're not all that lined up. The amount of opposite rudder will be very little to more depending on the amount of opposite bank and wind or other factors. Where a forward slip is full rudder deflection opposite to bank to dump that altitude... very little do with any directional control.
      Because x controls cause altitude to fall, adding power is often required. Hence x wind landings using sideslip to landing or eventually going into one from a crab ultimate transition to sideslip on round out generally requires a bit more power than usual. Pitch for airspeed. Power for altitude.

    Does a slip change the critical angle of attack? In other words, if you are close to stalling, will slipping push you into the stall?

    • @KazKimura
      @KazKimura ปีที่แล้ว

      I always slip at a higher airspeed on landing as instructed in the POH. I don't want to find out what happens with the wings in a bank and full rudder input when I'm 400ft AGL.

  • @piperdakotaflyr
    @piperdakotaflyr 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the side slip you say point the ailerons the direction and add rudder. Is it opposite rudder to the ailerons?
