3. By all means slip the a/c to lose height on final, but be careful with the flap limiting speed. On one PFL I had flap 40 selected on a C172, tried a quite aggresive slip and quickly found the speed was 10 kts above the flap limiting speed
What does the POH for the 172 in question say about slipping the aircraft with 40 degree flaps set?
