Titaniumwings-------Also remember the Transat A330 dead stick approach after running out of fuel over the Atlantic, the machine glides so well they needed to use a lot of side slipping after getting too high on their approach. Worked well for them on the day and they managed to land and stop with blown wheels.....ok:

Not that I would sideslip in any other situation in a commercial Jet but in an Emergency like they had all bets are off!! You do what you need to..
