Yeah, the flap placard in the R182 does not say anything about slips, and I have checked the placard section in the POH. The flap placard in the POH does not verbosely list a restriction against any slip, with or without, flaps. The word "slip" is nowhere to be found in the POH.

My guess is that you can b/c it is a high wing aircraft and the flaps, when extended are out of the airflow of the elevators as opposed to a low wing where the wing and elevators are more in line. Could be wrong.

I have done a forward slip on a high final approach to land with full flaps and seemed to notice no loss of elevator control.

It would be nice to have a firm answer one way or another before, "taking a chance" on something.
