Slips are slips no matter where you are and slips, while aerodynamically
identical have different references.

This is one of those aeronautical "discussions" that can go on forever
without a clear winner or loser, unless you can agree on who's definition you
wish to accept. For very basic piloting questions like this, I keep an old copy
of "Stick and Rudder" on the shelf. I found it interesting that Wolfgang
apparently found no need to make a distinction; regardless if done for glidepath
control or landing in a crosswind, he calls them both "sideslips".

Go figure.
