I was taught that a forward slip is a cross-controlled descent maneuver. You can lose alot of altitude without gaining speed. A side slip is essentially the same, but is balanced with a crosswind to allow you to fly straight down the approach, with the upwind wing low. Crab is weathervaning into a crosswind when flying straight and level. I fly a 180, and sideslipping is a normal procedure. Forward slips are something I haven't done in a long time. It must be time to go flying.
