- Chapter 14: Transition to Tailwheel Airplanes › Touchdown › Crosswinds
noted, it is highly desirable to eliminate crab and drift at touchdown. By far the best approach to crosswind management is a side slip or wing-low touchdown. Landing in this attitude, only one main wheel makes initial contact, either…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Intentional Slips
The increase in airspeed increases rudder effectiveness permitting a steeper slip. Conversely…

accomplished so that upon rolling out of the turn, the airplane is aligned with the runway centerline. If the approach is planned to be slightly high in the current configuration, the pilot will be assured of making the aiming point ... controls trimmed. Slight adjustments in pitch attitude and slips are used as necessary to control the glide angle and airspeed. A crab or side slip can be used to maintain the desired flight path. A forward slip may be used…
