Went and took a 152 and flew around my local area today. Flew over to a local satellite airport and did 2 sim engine out's to landing. Pulled power to idle and pitched for Vg put flaps down and did a forward slip to lose altitude on very short final and made the runway a little past my intended touch down point. Second one was abeam touchdown point on the downwind and did the same thing, lost some altitude and turned for the runway, had it made, and put full flaps down and slipped again on very short final to lose altitude and came out at 55kts which is the short field landing speed, would have made the runway on this one but most likely would have landed in the displaced threshold so i did a go-around. Overall good practice and I feel like its something good to do once and a while.
