gboulton,

Thanks for the imput! I really think this is going to be more a laundry list of training points that should be covered, not how to cover the subjects.

I think we could have some discussion about your #1 & 2 points on pitch and throttle control particularly regarding to full scale flight. When flying an instrument approaches in military and airline flying glideslope is maintained with pitch and airspeed with throttle. It would be very dangerous to dive or climb off glideslope to maintain airspeed using pitch. There is no doubt that one can trade altitude for airspeed its stored energy. There are flight regimes where that may not be the best technique.
