Spoilers for Pattern Planes?????

[Del Rykert]

all true but I've rarely seen a pilot slip to landing smoothly. I can only think of one time I've seen it and I wasn't judging and don't know how he scored but I felt he deserved a decent score from my viewing angle.

  AMA rules state you can side slip:-

  The landing will not be downgraded if:
   
  3.The pilot elects to "slip to a landing," to handle
  a crosswind condition, in which case the
  upwind wing will be low.

  Eric.

  He flies FAI anyway, I doubt it hurts the scores much :)

  Besides where does it say you cant slip?
