Communication clarity essential

As I read your post...XPM
Just Me 69 quotes a Spanish pilot
"Then the aircraft yawed to the right...."

XPM says in a confirming way...
" the aircraft was slipping to the right..."
Do I misunderstand your implication?
That is NOT the same thing.
.........Think about it the next time you give or receive a "Flaps " response, or in fact any check list response next time -if you are still in business.
I dont know how check list philosophy has changed in the last 30 years . but the change to 2 pilot crew, each doing his own half of the checks without a controlling check by the other pilot was a serious retrograde step and blah , blah , blah.
I feel very strongly about sloppy check list use, and I am still alive!
