"Attitude plus power equals performance"
In instrument training, this mantra is drummed into students: If you have a given power and attitude set, you'll get a given performance.
I appreciate this is being somewhat pedantic, but, since it's Friday and I've nothing else to do, I'll plough on: We are also made aware early in our training that a particular power and attitude can result in two airspeeds, depending on 'which side of the drag curve' you're on. Surely this is a contradiction with the first assertion? Shouldn't it be: "Attitude plus power = one of two possible performances"?
Okay, I'll climb back into my hole now.
