I don't see why the turn should be a slipping one, you certainly will
loose more height in a slipping turn than in a normal one. And height
loss is what make the turn possible or not.



1. A slipping turn can be made at a high bank angle and low airspeed.


I don't understand this: at any given bank angle, how can you achieve a
lower airspeed when you are slipping? Doesn't that require more elevator
power? How would a slipping turn enable that?
