G'day QNIM

You're right, I've never flown an aircraft without flaps...my point was in reference to Tinpis' post about the relevance in sideslipping a flapped aeroplane. Thanks for the reference there, however I still stick by my point that every crosswind landing is a sideslip. Anyone who disagrees needs some serious revision in aerodynamics. Just because the competency standard requires you must be able to sideslip in a glide doesn't mean there aren't other times where it would be required.

Anyways, this thread is really starting to pull teeth. Take it easy
