Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't find sideslipping a Europa to be
a beneficial means of losing height on the approach. That is (in addition to
the fact that sink rate isn't increased by much), given the lack of
confidence in the ASI reading during a side slip, I always make sure to
speed up a bit. That means extra speed when coming out of the side slip and
(if it's a short strip) a missed approach as a consequence. Or if the height
control is needed further out on the approach, S-turns will do the job.
Co-ordinated of course!
