In aviation, a slipping turn and a skidding turn are both uncoordinated flight conditions that should be avoided. They occur when an aircraft's rate of turn does not match its bank angle. In a correctly executed turn, the horizontal component of lift should be equal and opposite to the centrifugal force.
