Forward Slip to Landing Cessna 152

Landing a cessna 152 on runway 34 at Turner Falls Airport in Massachusetts. This video shows the final approach to landing. We were high on final so we executed a forward slip and made a decent landing.

Thanks for watching!

May i ask, were u already in a forward slip at the start of the video?

like flying straight but a little crab wise?

I ain't very sure how a forward slip looks like yet

@luigix Correct, I was in a slip up until about 0:25 when I start to reduce the control inputs and align the aircraft with the runway. Both forward and side slips use the same technique - opposite rudder and aileron inputs - but have different names depending on when you use them. Side slips are used in crosswinds, allowing you to align the aircraft with the runway and yet still account for wind drift. Forward slips allow you to lose altitude without gaining airspeed.

Thanks for watching!
