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?
You will get significant IAS errors while side slipping in any airplane that only has one static port, including C712 and C152. The IAS will go up or down depending on which way you are slipping.
