Bart - I'm not a pilot examiner, although I've been a CFI for 43 years.
The point in demonstrating slips is to show that you know how to set up for a x-wind landing, as well as generally know how the 3 controls work. The major differences between flying a Coupe and a 3 control airplane obviously relate to the techniques involved in x-wind takeoffs and landings. I would assume any examiner, if he/she does the job right, would require a demonstration of proper x-wind takeoffs and landings.

Or do they make you enter a high final approach then slip it down to a succesful landing? Bart
