Right on! I guess the required placard that prohibits full flap slips
doesn't mean anything. Just what we need; Someone teaching students
that it's "OK" to do prohibited or unauthorized maneuvers. Dosen't
matter if "he" can get away with it. Reminds me of the guy who posted
some time back about the instructor who looped his Cessna during a
lesson. If anyone ever did that while giving a lesson to my wife I'd
rat him out to the FAA at the least and wouldn't want to consider the
worst.

Come down off your high horse sonny. No where in the airplane is there
a placard that states "prohibited" about anything. Doesn't say anything
about "unauthorized" either. I don't have the POH here in front of me
at the time, but as I recall it does say something about slips and flaps
during landing, but at 4,000' AGL, we wern't anywhere near landing.

I repost this excerpt from a book written by William Thompson, Manager of
Flight Test and Aerodynamics at the Cessna Aircraft Company. I take it
that you didn't read the entire paragraph posted earlier in another thread.

"For this reason a caution note was placed in most of the owner's manuals
under "Landings" reading "Slips should be avoided with flap settings
greater than 30° due to a downward pitch encountered under certain
combinations of airspeed, side-slip angle, and center of gravity loadings".
