Out of curiousity: How would you sideslip an airbus? I suppose you would command a certain roll rate uisng the side-stick, which would then return to neutral, while holding continual rudder input in opposite direction. I take it the rudder on the bus functions in 'direct law', i.e. as in conventinal aircrafts? Have a feeling the sideslip manoeuvre would seem a bit peculiar in the bus.
