No - it's always PAT except levelling off from a climb. Levelling from a glide descent use the last bit of descent to increase speed.

How about HAT. Pre-HAT checks and post-HATT checks for turns

Before the turn (once turning point identified):

Heading - look up new heading
Altitude - look up altitude for next leg
Time - reset stopwatch

After turn:

Heading - read heading on DI, check with plan
Altitude - check correct and suscale setting correct
Time - check stopwatch has started
Time - check time of next check feature or turning point
