Hello,
I am going to be signing off a couple students for their private pilot practical tests. One area of concern I have is that I've taught them that slipping with full flaps extended in our C172 is perfectly fine even though our POH has the "Should be Avoided" disclaimer. On their practical test, I worry that the examiner may see it differently and I don't want to set them up for a disapproval.
I wanted to ask, in your experiences, did you all perform your forward slip with flaps extended on your practical test? Are examiners generally ok with it despite the advisory in the POH?
Just to be safe, I'm thinking of instructing them to perform the forward slip maneuver with the flaps up on their checkride but not sure if I'm overthinking it.
Thank you.
