I am glad to hear that others have not had to worry about this restriction. However, it has been around well before the Sport Pilot rule came along. It seems apparent that not all examiners are aware of it. The question I have to ask is how did you performed the slip maneuver that is listed on the practical test. According to the FAA if you cannot perform a slip, then you have not demonstrated all required flight maneuvers. That is the basis for a flight ticket with a restriction. I can copy the current rulings on the topic from the FAA if you have an interest, or you can search the archives on this forum for that discussion.
