Whoever wrote this page, you are confused between sideslip and forward-slip. Definitions are correct though, it is just the names. If you think I am wrong, do some research or leave a message and I will quote you the definition form a book. En51cm 02:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Deathpoo, do you think I am wrong, or are you trying to sabotage the page? Please comment on why you swap the definition of Forward-slip and Sideslip back to the old ones(perharps the wrong ones)? For reliabilty of the information, it was from the a "The Air Pilot's Manual" a JAR-FCL PPL recomended book. Other wiki user please comment on this as well.

Removed warning, added introductory text for clarification, useage, and cautions. Use in landing was moved to slideslip section, since the heading is maintained while adusting the track with the ailerons. (Perhaps this may have been the point of confusion between En51cm and Deathpoo?- Leonard G. 03:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice photo of a glider (especially since I got permission for it), but it does not really illustrate the article. It needs a photo showing a runway and a plane pointing somewhere else. JMcC 08:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Leonard G, thanks for the correct forward/side slip definitions. It would be nice if someone can add the method entering both manoeuvres from the pilot point of view. En51cm 02:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
