The first time I saw it in action I thought it was really cool.

Facts. I always thought it was the coolest quirk and feature.

It was a pretty useful trick to have in the bag on the 717.

I mean...the last time I caught myself high and hot on final I kicked her into a beautiful slip and lost airspeed and altitude. I was able to flare and arrive at my desired touchdown point and made a serviceable landing and rollout. I didn't consider using flaps because I was in a 1940 Aeronca Chief. Y'all should try slips when you need to lose altitude and airspeed!

Unfortunately I've heard stories of people trying that in RJs.

I’ve seen it done in a B757….

Favorite captain at AS told me and FO tried it. He was still visibly upset about it.
