  • its a fwd slip, a side slip is used to combat xwind on approach, a fwd skip is used to descend faster w/o increasing air speed. his taxi was fast to the point of dangerous, his insurance agent ouldnt buy him a beer

  • You're probably right. In Sweden we have just one word, "vingglidning". The direct translation is side slip. In crosswind we simply "lower the wing into wind" (or step on the rudder, if you prefer that). Maybe I'll update the title.

    And a fast taxi is just very low and slow flying, isn't it?... ;-)

  • Absolutely OUTSTANDING job. Well done. If I knew who that pilot was I'd buy him a beer.

  • And I can guarantee that he would appreciate it!!! :-)

  • Now that was simply amazing and one of the best approaches and landings I've ever seen. 6/5 if I could.

  • You know how I know this pilot is GOOD? Not because of his slip, high tail taxi or approach, but it's the way he kept the tail DOWN AFTER landing!

    He kept control throughout the entire phase. Lots of pilots these days let go of the stick once on the ground. Bad bad bad.

  • Beautiful landing and a flawless forward slip. Well done!

  • A slipping turn achieves the same aim as a forward slip-increased rate of descent without increasing airspeed-but does this in a turn. The turn is slowed, but not prevented, by the use of opposite rudder. It is very useful during the turn to final approach. Well done maestro!!!

  • Fantastic forward slip. Obviously a very skilled and experienced pilot.

  • A thing of beauty

  • Great bit of flying:)

  • nice job

  • lol. hot shot pilot, what do you know. well done.

  • No offense guys, but he can do whatever he wants with his pilots certificate. Don't bash his high tail taxi just cause he's having more fun than you are. I love when people take chances and have fun. More videos!

  • @skunkertx

    I'm currently training in a Citabria 7ECA and I keep forgetting to hold that stick back. My trainer is the patient kind thank god.

  • that was a beautiful FWRD SLIP!
