here again a quote from one of my many training books (I left out non essential sentences):
The Slip
The purpose of the "forward slip" is to dissipate altitude without causing airspeed to increase, e.g., airplanes without flaps. In planning the slip, take into cosideration wind direction. Slip into the wind.
Establish normal glide.
Establish slightly less than normal glide speed
Use of elevator: Control speed should be slightly less than normal glide speed.
Use of aileron: Principal control to maintain desired bank. Remember steepness of bank affects angle of descent.
Use of rudder: rudder is used in opposite direction of slip. Another use of the rudder is to keep the airplane from turning and to control the rate of turn.
Maintain original flight path
Note:
check manufacturer's recommendation for use of wing flaps extended during slips
recovery: allow enough altitude for safe recovery. Raise the low wing and release rudder pressure simultaneously to keep the airplane aligned with the runway. Assume normal glide before touchdown. Riase low wing with ailerons. Reduce rudder pressure.
That all coincides with the way I learned it.....
