both the B767 and B747-400 side-slip across the wind in a coupled approach. I would expect the B-777/787 does the same.
My ignorance - I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I recall being cautioned by my instructor on Tiger Moths, where side slips to flare height was the norm because of no flaps, that significant IAS errors can be expected while side-slipping.
I can understand that especially as the side wind vector into an open cockpit could blow one's goggles off.
Are there airspeed errors to be allowed for in jet transport side slips? If side slips are permitted in big jets, where does the compatibility to stable approach criteria come in?
