Slip to a Landing (ASEL, ASES)
To determine the applicant understands a slip to a landing, can apply that knowledge, manage associated risks, demonstrate appropriate skills, and provide effective instruction.
Bottom line
In a forward slip, the amount of slip, and therefore the sink rate, is determined by the bank angle.
