could that probably be because you fly aircraft which have efficient
sideslip ? Try to sideslip a Mosquito instead of using full trailing
edge brakes, or an ASW20 instead of using the highly efficient landing
flaps. Of course you could use a 2-33 which has a highly efficient
sideslip even so I think it doesn't matter which direction you move it
through the air, it's always as draggy as it gets ...

Which aircraft type was the accident in ?

Interesting that there has been no mention of side-slipping and yet that
would be my immediate thought if I believed I was too high to get onto the
ground without overshooting?
