I got one little tip for you guys when you're doing a slip to land in a pattern. It will make life a lot easier for you are a tad high when you're turning base, then you can start your slip and adjust all the way through until you touch down. I used to think since I don't have flaps than I try to extend downwind a bit to get low, but I found out that is just making things more difficult.
sorry, I replayed the vid, and I guess it's the second, it reminds me of an episode of NG 's Air crash investigation (3/5) Air Canada Flight 143 (Gimli Glider)
I'm currently 15 and I really want to take flying lessons but I don't want to take them now as they will be somewhat of a waste because I still have to wait til I'm 17. What do you recommend I do in the meantime?
@ILSLanding I think i can help you on this one. I started pilot training at 15 and now i just turned 18 and I'm an instrument rated private pilot. The best time for you to start would probably be when you're three months away from your 17th birthday.. it saves a LOT of money. I'd also recommend doing the training over summer vacation from school. if i can help or answer any questions/etc., I'd be happy to :)
my friend.. explain things more precisely.. when you're doing a crosswind landing the aileron should be in the wind direction and opposite rudder.. how can you get the winds? easy, either ask tower, wind soak or see the direction where the aircraft is getting pushed by the winds. not just put the ailerons anywhere and whatever rudder.. for teaching you should say everything in precise thank you.
I don't understand two things: 1) Why you decide to loose altitude by a forward slip, instead of reducing the power? 2) in the sideslip why you want to touchdown with one wheel? thanks Jason!
@fryanventu sometimes even reducing power to idle doesn't give enough sink, and the forward slip allows you to descend at a greater rate without increasing airspeed (due to the increase in drag). There is so much drag though that many manufacturers don't recommend slipping with full flaps. The side slip to landing, you touch down on one wheel b/c that wheel is lower due to that wing being banked to stop the wind from pushing the plane sideways.
@owntor1 yes it's different than a crab. A crab is when you are pointed into the wind, but going a different direction that the nose is pointed. Say you are crabbed left into the wind, you would actually be tracking the centerline even though the nose isn't pointed down the runway. A side slip allows you to align the longitudinal axis along the runway, and you bank the plane into the wind to prevent being pushed sideways and possibly landing with a sideload.
i like how it's fast paced. that's the way these videos should be

the reason why you cant hear what that guy is talking about?.... economics,.... you really need to buy the video..

I think I am working on these in my next lesson, thanks for the video, cant wait to try it myself! :)

@roofy2k thx for the response only I would add a small thing "crabbing is when the wings are level, if you're banked then it's a slip"
-Now, as Jason said, if you use that technique to lose altitude, it's a forward slip
- If you use it to land in crosswind, it's a side slip (thus you will land upwind wheel first)
There's still a mystery to me, with crosswind this technique keeps the plane "steady"
without crosswind, this very technique makes you lose altitude ?

ok that makes sense, but which is true:
- side slipping = crabbing + more roll
- side slipping = crabbing + more roll + rudder

Is crabbing & side slipping the same thing ?

Is the side slip different from a crab? If you were crabbing with left crosswind you would be yawed left, no?

one more caution i would say, do not land sideways :)
