... "Vaughn Simon" wrote in message ... | | "Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message | ... | | 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. | | Vaughn | | Does the term forward slip describe a slip? Yes. Does the term side slip describe a slip? Yes. Do both requre the same control inputs? Yes. What next? Will we have pattern turns, cross country turns, sight seeing turns, high altitude turns etc. Taking your moronic Okie logic the other direction, why not simply just call everything a maneuver, which would cover taxiing, takeoffs, landings, turns, slips, stalls, lazy eights, ascents, descents, chandelles, spins, immelmanns, barrel rolls, and dozens of other things. I'm just curious as to how Okies like you rise to the crème de la dumb level. Inbreeding and fetal alcohol syndrome only can account for so much. Are there monuments to stupidity in every town? Do you have museums dedicated to stupidity that you regularly attend? Are there churches where stupidity is preached from the pulpit? Are there clubs and civic organizations where stupidity is fostered to a fine art form? |
