Can You Slip a Cessna R182 with Flaps?
I own and train in a Cessna R182. I have about 130 hours. Can you forward slip a Cessna 182 RG with flaps down? I have scoured the POH but can find no text yeah or nay about this.

Hello:
I don't have a C-182 rg POH handy. Usually there will be a placard under the flap lever that will say " Avoid slips with flaps extended". If it is an older plane that placard "could" Be worn out, though it shouldn't have passed the annual inspection if it is. There is also a section in the POH that will list all of the placards, you may want to see if it is in there. It has been a while since I flew a 182 RG. My guess is "NO" but you may be able to depending on the year. Denny in Oak may have a little knowledge on this. Airfreddy

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.

what year is it?
I know on a lot of the older cessnas, they didn't put stuff like that in the poh. I think the changes started around 1975 or so with the newer POH's. I would say it is going to depend on the year. If there is not mention in the POH you 'Should " Be ok. I really think denny is going to be the source for the most educated answer. I don't have the manual in front of me and I know stuff like that was not in the older POH's. Since denny is on the other side he could probably find it for you. airfreddy

slipping...
You can slip it, just be ready for tail oscilations, you will still have control, but it can be a weird feeling. Try it at altitude first..

I flew a 172 and 182 for quite awhile. I Do recall reading somewhere that fwd slips were not recommended. I think it was related to low speeds plus the drag already put out there in the wind, and the crossed controls. I usually landed the Cessnas with two notches of flaps and focused on a decent approach on final to short. Just mind the airspeed. If your high and it's windy I'd crab it. If you wanted to use full flaps. But of course you don't want full flaps on a windy approach.
If you contact Cessna Pilot Assoc. They are very informative and do know everything about every Cessna and S/N specific quirk about all of their birds. They also have a fantastic magazine for Cessna pilots. Good luck
