I, like M. Mouse, had no idea what a "forward slip" is ... and, having looked at the page referred to by dvt, I still don't ..... could someone please explain to me what the difference in the two examples is ? I can see absolutely no difference between the two .... or am I just too dumb to see a subtlety in the detail ? At the risk of having to eat my words .. as I have to do from time to time ... is this set to become one of those wonderful myths of aviation ?
As a general practice, I would be very wary of adopting the attitude that, if the book doesn't prohibit it, then it is OK to do something .... the absence of prohibition in respect of a specific matter may only indicate that it didn't come up in the certification process .... far better, I suspect, to follow the guidance material without too much potential experimental flight testing in line operation ....
