Twist Boat Conformation
In what situations would we know to use the twist boat conformation? Is that just an extra step between the boat conformation and the chair conformation?

Yep, the chair undergoes a twist boat conformation before it reaches the boat conformation.
After that, it goes twist boat again (but in the opposite twist that it began with), and then it goes to a chair that's the flipped version of the first chair. That's how chair flipping happens.
