There is nothing dangerous about a properly executed turning slip, and this is especially common with older flapless planes like Cubs. But this is useful advice for student pilots, who can peel back the nuance later in their training. | |

Only after you've completed the turn, gone wings-level, and stabilized can you properly judge what maneuver to do, to what degree, and execute it safely. | |
