Fine theory ... but in reality

Yep, that's a slip into wind, but real world technique is something at variance with textbook .. Try that on a low podded item such as a 73 and much crunching could be the result, so.. correct from the book of side slipping. What people tend to do is a fusion of slip to maintain the center line, with a deft transfer to crab & kick at an appropriate height above the tarmac.

I don't know how the subtlety of that technique would transfer to a power-point presentation, my best guess is that it would not.
