Uncoordinated flight.
Uncoordinated flight.
Bottom line
Judgments of aircraft attitude based on bodily sensations are frequently false. Skid, slip, and uncoordinated turns feel similar; pilots feel they are being forced sideways in their seat. In uncoordinated flight, fuel can be forced to one side of a tank, and slip limitations are meant to preclude fuel starvation from this.
