Gertrude, I'm going to slap your legs for that one!
I thought that would wind someone up!!
It works though. I did it once on a glide approach when I'd misjudged the wind, and the instructor was perfectly happy - I got onto the runway, if it had been a real forced landing in a field we'd have walked away which is all that matters.
No, I wasn't taught sideslipping
near the ground on my PPL. It's on my list of things to ask for on my next hour-with-an-instructor.
