sideslipping

mbcxharm.

If you are doing it right, with wing down into wind and a little opposite rudder you are still tracking straight down the runway centreline.

If you were sidesipping you would be tracking forwards and in the direction of the lower wing i.e diagonally.

God, are there any stick and rudder guys out there anymore or is it just the fly by numbers products of these flying school factories that mummy and daddy pay a fortune to so as to be able to tell their dinner guests that the fruit of their loins is an Airline Pilot?!
