6 Slip
Supplement Flight Training 9 - 7
The slip is a very stable flight condition and is also very easy to
perform. This maneuver is used to increase aerodynamic drag to
enable a high rate of descent.
Before establishing a slip, you have to ensure that the airspeed is
within the required limits. The maximum maneuvering speed
V
A
= 88 kIAS (101 mph IAS) should not be exceeded. If performing a
slip with flaps extended, a maximum indicated airspeed of
V
FE
= 78 kIAS (90 mph IAS) must be maintained. You will achieve the
maximum rate of descent when slipping with flaps fully extended and
flying at V
FE
.
Conducting a slip does not require special skills. However, if you are
not yet familiar with the aircraft, we recommend to do this exercise
only when accompanied by an experienced flight instructor.
