However use of the word 'push' tends to suggest that this is a semi-aerobatic manoeuvre - especially when used in conjunction with the phrase 'unload the wings'.
Call it what you want, ignore it, whatever, I don't care. The article actually said "push forward until the windscreen is 2/3 ground and 1/3 sky" as this gives a reasonable glide attitude in most aeroplanes.

Push is pretty descriptive of what you have to do, and every pilot should know about wing loading....
