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.

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... |

Related, but sorta off topic.
I was flying a C-150 at a sorta busy regional airport with my CFI, I was number 7 in the pattern. Tower called me and asked if I could speed up because of a twin behind me, I answered, "cannot comply, full throttle as it is........ Permission to do a 360 to let the twin pass?" , reply was, "permission granted to do 360". My instructor thought it was a good response by me to an odd situation....... |
