The glider guys would always suggest a forward slip. It's a lot of fun to do. It's not taught often enough during primary training for powered airplanes.
Aren't low-speed slips something that makes planes flip upside-down when not used very carefully? (Inadvertent rudder changes corrected with opposite aileron resulting in a snap roll.)
A cross controlled stall can result in a spin (which is probably what you mean by flip upside down). The rudder changes aren't inadvertent, they're intentionally opposite the aileron input - the goal is essentially to fly somewhat sideways, so the fuselage induces drag.
In general forward slips are safe, but yes you have to make sure you keep the nose down/speed up. There's little in aviation that isn't dangerous if you aren't careful.
Yes, being that one is cross-controlled they must be used very carefully. It's really obvious that one is cross-controlling. It's the only time outside of really powerful crosswinds that you see what's below and ahead of you out of the side window. That view is what makes it fun.
You're probably thinking of a skid, which is when you put too much rudder in the same direction as the ailerons. Then the lower (and slower because it's on the inside) wing stalls first (and goes lower still) and away you go. Often when turning to land, so there's not enough altitude to recover.
Well it's not all lost otherwise it'd be a stall spin accident caused by performing the maneuver with too little airspeed. And that's hard to do. It's a noisy maneuver, the air slamming against the fuselage makes itself heard. Once performed it's not easily forgotten.
More dangerous than inadvertently spinning with too little airspeed is the possibility of shock cooling when relying on a forward slip for too much altitude loss. It really does need to be well-controlled.
I thought this topic was about energy gained and lost during a go-around. If velocity was V and altitude was H before the go-around, and velocity and altitude are again the same V and H after the go-around, then it follows that all the potential energy that was accumulated during the go-around (from converting fuel into altitude) has been dissipated (lost). Otherwise V would be higher the second time.
This very much varies state-by-state (ignoring prenups and emergency med treatment as edge cases). In my marriage and state (FL) debts incurred by me remain my own. Wifey owes none of it. Compare with states that have community property or purchases made as tenants by the entirety.
