Side Slipping Feed back

[Nico13]

Today I continued with my lessons at Lethbridge and while sharing a coffee with my instructor he related to me about some feed back from my original post on side slipping on this site, link below.

 

I was disappointed to hear what was said next as a result of miss information that word had come back via the grape vine saying,

 

"Some instructor at Lethbridge is tell the students that you can't side slip Cessna's"

 

Well this "Some instructor at Lethbridge" is totally incorrect and I refer back to my original post,

 

" I was shown this technique about twenty seven years back during a trial instructional flight after returning to the airfield way too high for a normal approach.

 

The instructor on the day affectionately known as Captain Jack E said to me

 

"don't do this in a Cessna or you'll bend it"

 

Now to some this may seem a little trivial but a trivial error like this can be damaging to a reputation so I am setting the record straight That this did not come from Lethbridge and all I can say is read the original post.
