side slips

As in a C-152, the only time ANY aircraft needs to be in a side slip is when landing in a crosswind. Or maybe to keep on the localizer in a Large aircraft !!!!!! If anyone else has a situation when it is required, PLEASE SHARE. Ie; side slip=landing // forward slip=lose altitude without increasing airspeed. If there are more than those 2 types of slips, again, please share.
