Level flight attitude is waffle. The guy wants to know how to land. Level flight attitude (whatever that is defined as) is nothing to do with flying a stable approach and then raising the nose by 2-3 degrees, as per the FCTM, at the correct point. What 'level flight attitude', which varies so much with config, has to do with a descending aeroplane about to land is at best confusing. You are overly complicating the explanation of a manoeuvre. How does the student know what 2-3 degrees looks like? It's approximately the thickness of the coming. Relate that to the outside and that's how much the horizon should move by when you raise the nose. K.I.S.S.

I would also point out that there is a difference between teaching pilots to fly the way you fly and teaching pilots to fly the way they fly best
Your way is best then? Pot, kettle, black? I'd get on to Boeing and let them know they are not providing BEST info to their customers.
