How To Slip To Land

[@danavenzor1169]

What a time to be alive. I just gained what once could take weeks, knowledge not necessarily easy to access in a matter of minutes and at the touch of a finger. Brilliant +1

[@danavenzor1169]

Actually analogous to the amount of knowledge of the physical world I gained while watching a crop duster bend the laws of physics, yon Imperial Valley way don’t you know… those acrobatics…ferget aboutit!

[@markfacer2296]

The 172 I fly has the "Avoid Slips..." placard. The Super Decathlon I fly has no flaps, so we often use slips as part of our energy management on the approach :)

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for watching, Mark!

[@pilotavery]

Some of the Cessna 172 models don't have baffles in the fuel tank. On models that do not have a both fuel selection, and only allow you to select left or right, you have to make sure the fuel is selected on the side that you intend to slip to make sure that the fuel doesn't uncover the sump and allow your engine to starve

[@spaul85vin-husky]

In russian terminology it is called aerodynamic shadow, and there is famous tupolev 154, which suffers from elevator shadow in landing configuration by design (t-shaped stabilizers). And this is very important to know about this effects. Thank u for great lessons!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you for sharing! Glad you are enjoying our content!

[@floppygdog]

I call that move to specifically loose altitude a “forward slip”. We practice these and side slips in flight training and they are listed as required in FAR 61.87(d)(14). In my Light Sport they are quite useful. Love your channel!

[@Warhawk666]

In Canada we call them a forward slip as well

[@mythicalphoenix5293]

I only use slips in a 172 when I’m too high on final or there’s a crosswind of some sort. I do have my flaps in but I always maintain at the least 65 knots with the nose pointed down. I’ve never had issue and it’s good to practice I think

[@Zalaniar]

3 for 3! I've never heard the explanation for avoiding slips with flaps, thank you for sharing and providing an easy-to-understand visualization!

[@ranjrog]

3 4 3! Best explanation I’ve seen for the issue of slipping with flaps. I have a 172M and the POH says, “ Steep slips should be avoided with flap settings greater than 20 degrees due to a slight tendency for the elevator to oscillate under certain combinations of airspeed, sideslip angle, and center of gravity loadings”. Not a prohibition or even a placard, just a note in the first paragraph under landings in the POH!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for joining us! Glad you are enjoying the series!

[@steveellington8313]

Good lesson , I’ve never really considered that side of the horizontal stabilizer being denied relative wind during a slip with flaps

[@hectorpascale1013]

1. Nose down 2. Aileron first (into the wind) = wing goes low in direction of slip + Adverse Yaw occurs 3. Support the Adverse Yaw by applying crossed rudder That´s what we are taught for Gliders in Germany. @1:50 Wind on final from forward left (according to the wind arrow on the left display) Full right rudder and too less left aileron in the wrong order makes you loose runway centerline to the right (blown with the wind) very fast IMHO. More left bank and/or less right rudder would have brought you back to the left on the centerline if the slip had continued.

[@kirinervosa]

One of my CFI's showed me slips for the first time this week. Great timing!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Awesome! Glad it worked out!

[@waseemissa7975]

That’s interesting 🧐 I’ve almost always performed slips with flaps and i teach it that way because in the situation you actually need to slip you would have full flaps extended and you still need to lose that altitude to get yourself on the runway therefore I’ve always been taught flaps is necessary. However i see your reasoning behind your explanation and I’ve never seen a placard regarding slips with flaps. 3/3 we learn something new everyday!

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for joining us! Glad you are enjoying the series! A good pilot is always learning!

[@scottyscott9965]

The Cherokees I’ve been learning in do not have the avoid slips placard, and I’ve been taught to slip power idle and full flaps. 2of the 172s I’ve been in, have it. I think they’re 1982 and 2012.

[@michaelj.mcmurray540]

3 for 3: Excellent explanation of the aerodynamics at play in a slip. I learned something new today. That's why I love MzeroA... My Cherokee 6-260 does not have that placard. I am going to check the POH to see if it's supposed to.

[@soviet_salsa2983]

1:54 you shouldn't be changing slip from left to right. If you are drifting away from the runway use your ailerons to compensate.

[@paulo__fly]

It was for a demonstration

[@drcode4]

3 for 3...My instructor was BIG fan of slips and constantly made me practice and perform them, even though they sometimes made me uncomfortable. I just realized I have gotten away from using them. Thank you!

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

[@johnopalko5223]

3 for 3. Slips to landing are standard operating procedure in flying gliders. The fellow who lived across the hall from me, lo these many years ago, was a CFI so we got to hanging around together and swapping lies, etc. I had just gotten my Private in gliders and was thinking about adding an airplane rating. He had never flown in a glider so I invited him for a ride. We strapped ourselves into the 2-33 and off we went. After about an hour of thermalling around we headed back to the airport. I came in nice and high on final, deployed the spoilers, and kicked it into an aggressive slip. I heard an "Eep!" from the back seat and realized I probably should have briefed him on that. On the other hand, I did remember to brief him to expect a loud BANG! when I released the tow rope.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thanks for sharing, John!

[@barnstormingbandit2611]

Side slipping is especially useful for grass strips and older aircraft where an engine out may cause excessive drag. the slip allows us to come in higher but drop down when needed, that being said it is far too easy to slip down too low to the ground, or to become too slow due to false ASI readouts.

[@dale116dot7]

It also works in a 767 if you’re a bit high don’t have enough fuel to do a 360 or a go-around. Or if perhaps if you are in a 767, have no fuel at all, are coming in a bit high, and the runway in front of you was repurposed as a drag racing strip.

[@evanhansen9357]

Great explanation, ‘47 champ, no placard because no flaps! I need to slip or come in with power on each landing so I do a lot of slips. Super vids. I’m 100 %, 3/3 headed to 31 for 31. Stay trained and be safe!

[@yalyosha]

3 for 3 No placard, but the POH of my 172K says to avoid slips with flaps > 30. Some later 172s don't have flaps that extend to 40, so they may not be impacted by this. Check your POH :) When practicing engine out landings, my CFI encourages me to slip with flaps 40 to have it in my tool belt in case I overshoot, and there is an obstacle.

Well done to a high standard! Are these maneuvers part of the aviation mastery book? Thank you for sharing and caring

[@cyberlex72]

Thank you for the explanation and lesson for slip to land. There is something I don't understand. Why are you first putting right pedal (nose in the wind at 1:48) before doing the opposite maneuver for slip demonstration (i.e. left pedal + right aileron) before landing?

[@kam1583]

I soloed the worlds best flapless stick & rudder plane, the aeronca 7ac, at age 16 when I paid $18/hr for plane,fuel and instructor. Slips were taught early on and it was always reiterated to use full control deflection and control the pitch. Miss those days.

Interesting. Makes sense. I have forward slipped several times in my piper Cherokee. My Cfi hasn’t said anything against it. Thanks for sharing!

[@steveaustin986]

MY CFI on a Bianual Revue had me doing fwd and side slips with different degrees of flaps in PA28-180

[@NeauCal]

Up to me, this is because the PA28 is a low wing airplane. Because your elevators are above your wings (in the air stream) means that the air passing on your elevators is the one that just passed over your wing and has not been deflected by flaps. So even during a slip, on low winged aircraft, elevator is well blown with laminar flow.

[@NeauCal]

Maybe Jason could enlighten us 😉

[@iamnima]

I actually tow pilot a microlight with a 60 meters cable behind and I need to approach the airfield fence at above 200 meters QFE. I always have one notch of flap, and always gently slip. I found myself tending to nose down as a safety measure while slipping which is counter productive for rollout length, but very informative video, thank a lot again for your great, well and energy presented videos and advices!

Never really thought about using slips to reduce airspeed but it makes sense. I've always used them for a height control mechanism particularly on practice force landings when you're a bit high. That and I tend to use a "double base" technique, making figure 8 turning always towards the airfield in a base position above your paddock/field until you are at a height you want to proceed.

[@bryant3483]

343 hello Jason, I have not seen any placards on the trainer that I began with which was a 172 R model. I am presently flying a 65 piper Cherokee 180C and have not come across any information for the cause and effect of flaps deployed while slipping. I certainly appreciate your explanation on slipping for altitude and or (speed )which was a revelation to me…… when I perform slips with the Cherokee on final approach is where I am low and slow I generally like to carry a little extra speed as the speed indicatorI not true to form because of the angle of the relative wind ; it’s great to know but I can also pick up the nose while in a slip to deal with the little bit of extra speed near to the transition . You can say I’ve just learned something more, thank you again for the great videos and sharing your knowledge so that we can be safe for pilots

[@doranjaffas7351]

I have flown many types of aircraft and I'm not just saying that. I have slipped all of them flaps up and flaps down partial. In a 1962 Cessns 150 Commuter with mechanical flaps Yeah I decided to find out why they say avoid slips with full flaps extended. I took it up several times and the aircraft did exactly what you talked about. Full elevator stall and abrupt pitch down. Close to the ground we know what would happen.. Fortunately whenever I am testing something like that I take it to altitude. On a different note the 2 best side slipping aircraft I have ever done it in believe it or not is a Piper Tri Pacer which comes down like a rock anyway and also my Tailwind W10. Both handle extremely well in full deflection side slips and the forward speed and rate of descent are very easy to control in those airplanes. Others are good for sure but those stand out to me.

When slipping in a turn use top rudder. Apply rudder progressively. Don't yank a wing back. My 2 cents.

[@marsgal42]

My Musketeer has no limitations on slips and flaps, just a limitation (30 seconds) on duration. I've flown several 172Ps and they all say "Avoid slips with flaps extended". No flaps in a Citabria so no placard. Just lots of fun. I practice slips at altitude but it's important to practice them on final too. Deliberately high 😎, traffic, terrain, whatever.

[@clyderokke5409]

The static port n a 172 is on the left. My question is when doing a slip to the left with the port exposed to the wind, what will be the difference between the indicated air speed in this slip compared to a slip to the right? I'm guessing the indicated air speed will be higher in a right hand slip because of negative pressure by the port.

[@marsgal42]

The indicated airspeed goes all over the place. This is why attitude control and a general "feel" for the plane is important.

No, I understand that you might feel tail oscillations.

[@greglong1492]

3 for 3, love these. I've always thought a slip should be performed into the crosswind only. However, if I understand your explanation, a slip away from the crosswind losses altitude and a slip into the crosswind losses speed. Is that correct?

[@ottoeyebiter]

I received my PPL about a year and half ago - and your videos were EXCELLENT as a learning tool for me (working on my instrument rating now - my logbook just went over 105 hours of PIC!). I have a question that has always rolled around in the back of my head... When in a slip, what does that do to your stall speed? I expect the stall speed stays the same BUT the drag goes through the roof (elevator stall not withstanding). Is that right? (thanks in advance, @jason!)

[@jujuthehoms5482]

I don’t see why the stall speed would change if your flap configuration stays the same. Sure drag increases but that just means you can be closer to a stall. Remember, you can stall by either being so slow you aren’t creating enough lift, or by exceeding your critical angle of attack

[@ottoeyebiter]

@@jujuthehoms5482 That is my thinking, too. It just makes sense... Thanks for confirming my thinking.

[@bryant3483]

@@ottoeyebiter Maybe another point to consider would be the fact that you’re pitot will be off angle to the relative wind thereby giving you a incorrect indication on your airspeed indicator. When you are low and slow and using this procedure on final please be aware of your stall speed

Hopefully after a year someone will read and comment. This whole issue is confusing. I have never noticed the "Avoid" slips placard in the 172S I train in (it's kind of rubbed out and not easy to read). I have as yet found nothing in the POH about forward slips with flaps. My instructor has encouraged me to use the forward slip on final with flaps extended (30 degrees) if I am too high. I think it is a great tool and I am glad I am feeling comfortable using it. However I was with a new instructor this week and he was surprised that I used it and was concerned that a DPE may fail an applicant on the check ride for using it. We chatted with the flight school owners and they think it may be more of a liability issue that Cessna is trying to head off potential liability issues than a real safety issue and that it wouldn't be an issue on the check ride. I'd like to hear more discussion.
