O.K. I'm really not trying to argue here.

Neither am I, this would best be done over a friendly beer.

so perhaps we could get away
from the yawstring example and you could help me understand why you
believe 'an early solo student (or anyone else....' should not know
how to execute and be skilled at a 'slipping approach'.

You are "putting words in my keyboard", I wrote no such thing as what
you have above. I was addressing your yawstring example speciifically, and
I wrote that (within my present knowledge and experience) a missing or
broken yawstring is not a reason to make a slipping pattern.


It would appear to me that other CFI's and FAA examiners believe the
"slips to landing" phrase in 61.87(i) means they should teach and
expect to see competancy in this maneuver. So why is your approach so
different from theirs?

Where did I say it is?
