Default Slow flight and Slips to Landing - Video

I love slips.

Went up with my co-owner in our Cherokee Six to do some holds & approaches.
For once, I got to sit left seat. I did mine, then he did his. He ended up
high & fast. Gave me the plane back. With a chop of power, flaps I rolled
her over & she dropped like a rock. Love it.

glider training helped me w/slips...we used them a lot
to "bleed off energy" on approach...always better to have
too much, than too little.......

cheers

Absolutely! Closing in on 900 hours and they are just as fun as when
I learned them! And as you can see from the video, still
learning :-)))))
