Well I teach sideslips to students..think its ex8.3.4 from memory...

PA28s....problems in sideslip?! none. If you are *that* low on fuel that you have a problem during a sideslip then you shouldnt be airborne! I think my time spent sideslipping PA28s must be several hours worth now!!!

C152 - Interesting one this - I checked the approved FM of a Cessna 152 the other day and searched without success for the mention of 'no sideslips' or 'do not sideslip with flaps down'. Oh yes the 172 has restrictions but AFAIK the C152 does not and this is an extension of an urban myth 'you cant sidelsip a cessna'....One of the reasons for the sideslip limits on the 172 AFAIK were mainly structural but as one poster did say you can upset the airflow over the elevator....

Anyone got any further info on the Cessna 152?
