Can I just check that I've understood this now.

In a side slip the aircraft is going forwards.

In a forwards slip it is going sideways.

Sideslipping is bad for swept wing aircraft but works well in a Boeing 707, 757, 767 & 777.

Cessna 152 must not be slipped at all.

Cessna 172 must not be slipped with 40° flap.

PA28's could run out of fuel if slipped - but no mention of tank selection (surely if one tank could "unport" - then the other side would be "pressurised".
