You control speed with elevator/vario with speed ??

Hello!

You definately do not like most of european countries lol (driving on the left, pounds etc) lol just kidding.

well, I have bought the Patter Manual, very nice.
and during the descent exercice, it is written that you control speed with elevator and vario with power... very different from france for instance, b'cause we use elevator for vario and power for speed, a lot easier and rationnal.
Ok maybe you are used to do it, but I guess it is logical to think : power as speed.
Do you still teach this ?
Do you do that with jet ? it'd be a challenge... response time is not the same as a piston engine.

I do not critizize but I am just surprised. I wonder how many countries do like that in fact...
I am a FI but I think I'd need a bit of training before handling your method.
