I'd read about side slipping and already crabbed and attempted wing down landings (they just dont feel natural!)
I was doing an approach and my instructor said (quite rightly) you're obviously too high here, so do something about it.
A bootful of left rudder and a twist of the yoke adjusted the vertical hold nicely (2 reds 2 whites). Controls to centre brought us back onto a normal descent. I think it took my instructor by surprise.
Pity I forgot to do it at Gloucestershire on my QXC as I sailed over the runway at about 500ft with full flap, throttle off and me bashing the dash with a kneepad shouting 'Down Boy !! Land dammit'. After go around I stopped short of the gravel trap (marked satisfactory) .
Must try it on a PA 28 next time I'm looking down at the threshold from on high.
I reckon it's better than just winding on the flap and wishing you had spoilers.
