Side-slipping
Does anyone have any views on how effective side-slipping in a Piper Cherokee 180C is as a means of losing height rapidly. Or if there is a preferred method I would be interested to know (e.g. spiral dive?).
I have tried side-slipping and the Cherokee does not seem to be very comfortable doing this - you do get a respectable rate of descent however.
What are the forces on the airplane when side-slipping - any issues/techniques to be aware of (bits falling off etc)?
Thanks
