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".


Mmm, cept Stefan the cheese nazi has no intention of discussing anythign.
