I bring up this topic only because there are many pilots that are shy about slipping to a landing due to the cross control and so close to the ground that they would not be able to recover.
The answer to this question will surprise those that fear the slip. But prove it to yourself at altitude.
The up front answer is ........ NO..... But there is a far more detailed answer than that. Let's let the group explain.
This is a broad statement. And there must be some aircraft out there that you can't (or not allowed to) slip. I am talking about the planes that WE fly and learned with.
