Forward slip ....
Whasat? I know what a sideslip is but I've never understood this ( American? ) term. Can't seem to find it in the BGA instructors manual either. Ian

Ian Don't bother with it; the glider doesn't know the difference. It is a US mental exercise based on where you are trying to go. A pilot in the back seat can't tell which one it is until he sees where you end up.

A pilot in the back seat can't tell which one it is until he sees where you end up. Most of the discussion is correct, the distinction in terminology and is based on the intent of the pilot. Having to fly over here in the US, and being asked to do them on biannual flight reviews, I remember it this way: A side-slip is when you're flying (ie pointing) forward. A forward-slip is when you're flying sideways. Simple and logical ..... NOT. The weather more than makes up for these minor inconveniences. Chris
