At what altitude should the slip be removed during an ELP?

Removing the slip at 300 feet AGL (Above Ground Level) during an Engine Failure with a Glide in the T-6A is critical for ensuring a smooth and controlled landing. At this altitude, pilots have enough time to assess their landing environment and make any necessary adjustments to their flight path.

The timing is crucial because at this stage of the Emergency Landing Pattern (ELP), the aircraft is transitioning from a controlled glide towards the landing site. Removing the slip helps optimize the aircraft's performance, allowing for improved airspeed management, reduced drag, and better control of the descent rate.

By removing the slip at this altitude, pilots can ensure the aircraft is properly configured for landing, which enhances safety and increases the likelihood of a successful outcome during an emergency landing scenario. This altitude provides a balance between allowing sufficient reaction time while minimizing the potential for disruption in the descent profile, which is vital for a successful recovery and landing.
