Not necessarily methinks, from what I read of BPF's posts, I doubt he'll produce instructors that don't look out of the windows.
I we gave those parameters to teenage PPL students with 5-10 hours and years of MS Flitesim, then you'd probably be right.

I think I can achieve that accuracy without resorting to full-time needle chasing, as experienced pilots with professional licences and instructor ratings, surely we should be able to maintain an altitude and airspeed, simply by setting an appropriate power, selecting and holding the correct attitude and being in trim, then confirming with an occasional check of the instruments.
