Would it not be easier to teach new pilots to use the needed control imputs to align the airplane in the direction and attitude that is desired to fly the intended path?
Rather than all this mental mastrubation on how to describe the manouver how about this.
Here is a hint.
Picture this:
Our dedicated instructor is demonstrating a X/Wind landing.
The wing is lowered sufficient for the strong 90 degree X/Wind, however the longitudinal axis of the airplane is 30 degrees off the runway heading.
As the airplane firmly contacts the runway and wipes the gear off the student asks, was that a side slip?
Tha instructor answers, I am not sure, I will post on Pprune and ask.
