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...
I've only ever done side slips. Maybe if I lived somewhere else in the world I may have been doing forward slips instead lol
