Uncoordinated flight.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Uncoordinated flight.

Bottom line

A skidding stall can develop into a spin. Skid, slip, and uncoordinated turns feel similar; pilots feel they are being forced sideways in their seat. Recognize a properly performed slip by the attitude of the airplane, the sound of the airflow, and the feel of the flight controls.
