Bus Driving

Apologies if this question has been asked in the past.

Watching "again" the Air Crash Investigation Gimli Glider programme, I ask is it possible to do sideslips in an Airbus?

It may have been pertinent in the US Airways landing had it been heading for a runway and not the river.

Something learned in gliding, and very useful when landing away in a short field.

As an aside, I dont think the computer graphics guy had ever done or even seen a sideslip.

Cheers
