Archer slips with full flaps etc.

Are there any restrictions regarding slipping an Archer or any PA28 with full flaps? If you are high for a landing, what is the best technique to "get it down" in a hurry?

    I tend to just push in on the yoke and get her down. Regardless how fast I come in it seems I only need a half a mile or so to slow it down and land. I do this with flaps deployed, as otherwise you will be too fast to deploy them.

    The best solution is not to come in high in the first place.

    No restrictions. However, I've never lost more than 1500 vertical feet in a turning full slup with full flaps, and I had sbout 30 gallons on board at the time.

    I do the steep, loaded turns too. They also work when combined with flaps and slipping..
