Side slipping is not universally taught in the PPL syllabus as some aircraft are unsuitable for this technique in certain configurations. For example some aircraft with large flaps will actually mask the airflow over the elevator during a side slip. It is however a useful technique for losing height in the final stages of a forced landing.
