The slot, which is located ahead of the aileron, causes the inboard portion of the wing to stall fist, allowing the aileron to remain effective throughout the stall.

ICAO Doc 4444, ¶16.5 Strategic Lateral Offset Procedures (SLOP) Note 1.— SLOP are approved procedures that allow aircraft to fly on a parallel track to the right of the centre line relative to the direction of flight to mitigate the lateral overlap probability due to increased navigation accuracy and wake turbulence encounters. In light of the growing problem of capacity constraints at airports and in airspace, which are becoming an increasing challenge to the continued growth of air transport, the ICAO Secretariat undertook and completed a study on the allocation of flight departure and arrival slots at international airports.
| Slat |
| A secondary control on an aircraft that allows it to fly at a high angle of attack without stalling. A slat is a section of leading edge of wing mounted on curved tracks that move into and out of the wing on rollers. | | Report an issue with this definition | source: FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician Airframe Handbook (FAA-H-8083-31) |

| Slats are aerodynamic surfaces on the leading edge of the wings of fixed-wing aircraft which, when deployed, allow the wing to operate at a higher angle of attack. A higher coefficient of lift is produced as a result of angle of attack and speed, so by deploying slats an aircraft can fly at slower speeds, or take off and land in shorter distances. They are usually used while landing or performing maneuvers which take the aircraft close to the stall, but are usually retracted in normal flight to minimize drag. Types include: - Automatic – the slat lies flush with the wing leading edge until reduced aerodynamic forces allow it to extend by way of aerodynamics when needed. Sometimes referred to as Handley-Page slats.
- Fixed – the slat is permanently extended. This is sometimes used on specialist low-speed aircraft (these are referred to as slots) or when simplicity takes precedence over speed.
- Powered – the slat extension can be controlled by the pilot. This is commonly used on airliners.
