I am a student pilot. When practicing sideslip to the left (left aileron and right rudder), I noticed that the nose tended to pitch up, slowing the aircraft down. My instructor kept reminding me to keep the nose pitched down to maintain the proper approach speed.
In order to this AOPA article, the reverse may happen in a right sideslip, where the nose tends to point down.
Can anyone explain the relationship between sideslip and aircraft's tendency to pitch up/down?
Thanks.
