Flaps and Short/Soft Field T/O & Ldgs

Annnnnnnnd, what do you do when your AFM has no published procedures? You experiment on your own and determine what's best for that particular aircraft - which may vary from what Cessna says to do.

Or, for the checkride, do what the AFH says and figure the rest out later if necessary.

My 1966 C150 does not include the word “slip” in the POH, so when asked on my PPL checkride I had no real great answer other than we won’t slip with any flaps because they don’t tell me that I can or can’t do it and that is the safer answer. Plus I have the 40 degree barn doors and they drop like a rock anyway.
