Not sure if it is taught any more, but when I learnt in Chipmunks I was told
in case of a mid air engine fire to turn fuel off and side slip away from
the flames. Might be a good reason to be in practice at side slipping.

At SGGC we often tie a reef knot with the ends tied to keep things moving when we are busy.
The knots on our 10mm polyprop rope are usually good for about 20 or 30 launches compared to to 100plus splices.
We normally cut out the splices before the start of the next days operations.
