But as someone mentioned when you practice engine out you do put it in a light slip configuration "zero sideslip" for better aerodynamic performance during an engine out.
That's a bit of a contradiction. A "zero sideslip" isn't a "light slip", it's no slip at all, hence the word "zero". The only time you have a slip is when you apply rudder, but no bank.
They probably had no reason at all for thinking as they do. Don't you think the POH would prohibit slips if they were dangerous? And, as I (and others) pointed out, a crosswind landing is a slip.I would think what they were thinking had something to do with elevator effectiveness?
Not likely to be certified if that were the case.Since it is a T tail. All I know is the possibility of getting nad being unable to recover in a deep stall,
