forward slip

Forward slip is determined from the location of the pressure distribution peak at the neutral point.

In an effort to lose height, the student entered a right wing-low forward slip on base.

Pearson decided to execute a forward slip to increase drag and lose altitude.

Landings in crosswinds have been described as "easy with a forward slip and touchdown on one main wheel".

The instructor, however, recognizing that the glider remained high, took control and continued with a right wing-low forward slip.

Intentionally putting an aircraft into a slip is used as a forward slip and a sideslip.

Once established on base leg, the student commenced a forward slip with spoilers fully extended in order to lose altitude.

A forward slip is a more moderate sideslip application designed to compensate for crosswind during approach and landing.

A forward slip allows a pilot to quickly drop altitude without gaining unnecessary speed, while a sideslip is one method utilized to perform a crosswind landing.

In a forward slip much more drag is created, allowing the pilot to dissipate altitude without increasing airspeed, increasing the angle of descent (glide slope).

The forward slip changes the heading of the aircraft away from the down wing, while retaining the original track (flight path over the ground) of the aircraft.

Gimli Glider - a 767 captain who happened to have glider experience made a successful engine-out landing despite excessive approach altitude by employing a forward slip.

Although still high on final approach, the student terminated the forward slip at 250’ AGL as per Air Cadet SOPs.

Drag is increased by use of flaps (devices on the wings) and by a forward slip (causing the aeroplane to fly somewhat sideways through the air to increase drag).

Assuming that the plane is properly lined up for the runway, the forward slip will allow the aircraft track to be maintained while steepening the descent without adding excessive airspeed.

To execute a forward slip, the pilot banks into the wind and applies opposing rudder (e.g. Right aileron + Left rudder) in order to keep moving towards the target.

Now on final and believing that the glider would overshoot the landing area, the IP took control at 250’ above ground level (AGL) and continued with the forward slip.

In a forward slip the aileron pressure is just enough to prevent the aircraft drifting away from the required ground line and the rudder pressure just enough to keep the fuselage aligned with both the landing path and the flight path.

This technique is also called a forward slip and is used whenever the aircraft is too high on approach, and there needs to be a rapid reduction of altitude without a gain of airspeed in order to conduct a safe landing.

Based on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) flight-testing, it was concluded that the glider likely experienced a previously unknown phenomenon in which, during a forward slip in stable meteorological conditions and in the presence of rain, an airflow separation mechanism was created.
