My instructor had me do this the last time I was up. Actually, he told me
to hold the aircraft (2-33) high in the pattern so that I was at "800-1000'
abeam of the numbers", then set it down, he didn't say how...that was the
excercise for the student(me). There was a slight crosswind and a bit more
(landing)headwind as well. 3-5kts by 5-10kts at ground level. It was an
*interesting* ride. I went to full slip, full spoilers and extended the
downwind leg a bit, then 1/2 spoilers and less rudder to let the slip turn
to base (didn't know how much altitude I'd lose in the turn), held slip and
spoilers on base, 1/2 spoilers and less rudder to slip turn to final. The
crosswind was opposite the slip (left pattern, right to left x-wind on
final) so closed spoilers and converted from left slip to right slip (that
was the *interesting* part...never did that in a pattern before...can't let
the track wander) and laid on full spoilers, did a normal slip to
landing...yes I reduce spoilers on final just before flare...the 2-33 is a
barge and flares like one too. An indestructable barge, but a barge
nonetheless.

I can't find anything in my books about how to make a 90 degree turn
(e.g., downwind to base) while in a full slip, but maybe that's
because it's so obvious. (Given my limited # hours, just because
something seems obvious to me doesn't mean I'm not going to check it
out.) I figure I'll turn with roll input, but can't picture the side
effects from doing that. If I know the side effects I can have a
chance of being ahead of the plane during the maneuver.

Anyway, is there going to be any adverse yaw from turning in this
mode? Even if there is, I don't think I can do anything about it,
but enquiring minds want to know. The other question is if the
attitude going to change as a side effect of the roll input. This
will be in a 2-33.

Thanks
