My bad! I meant forward slip. We've only learned the one so far. I didn't
know there was a difference, as we haven't covered the other type yet. I now
look forward to learning all about 'side slipping'! ;-)

There is no difference.

It =seems= like there is a difference, only because the perspective of
what you want to accomplish is different. However, as far as the way
the airplane goes through the air is concerned, they are completely
identical. The only difference is the way you think of the airplanes
motion with respect to the ground.

The airplane doesn't care about the ground though.
