Slips
I'm an SPL who's a little confused about slips. Slips are something I'd like to feel I could do on final if I'm a bit high, so I recently got my instructor to teach me.
However, since then, I've noticed that there seem to be completely varying opinions out there on aspects of the manoeuvre.
Specifically, I'd be grateful for opinions on the following:
[list=1][*]Whether to initiate the slip with rudder or aileron (or both simultaneously)[*]Whether to use an increased IAS or just the normal approach speed (or even slower!)[*]What dangers to be aware of when slipping (am I more likely to spin if I inadvertently stall?)[*]If slips should be conducted with flap (although this is probably specific to the type)[*]If slips should be conducted on final at all![/list=1]
Thanks.
