If one can believe _Private Pilot_ magazine, there is nothing inherently unsafe about slipping a 172 with flaps. But the banging and shuddering that result when the blanked air hits the tail could startle the pilot, and that's supposedly the reason that Cessna placards the 172 against slips with the flaps extended. -- Doug Pardee -- CalComp -- {calcom1,savax,seismo,decvax,ihnp4}!terak!doug
