Default Glide ratio with full brakes and side slip

Reminds me of a radio broadcast overheard, Pilot: "Tower Cessna November 123 with information alpha, inbound for landing" Tower: Cessna November 123 would that be a Cessna 150 or a Cessna Citation.

I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what sort of glide ratio you get with full brakes and slide slip? An instructor used this to correct a very high approach but I was curious what the side slip adds to the descent rate.


Its a Forward Slip...Not a side slip...
