focus of the training you mentioned is mainly on pitch & power flying?
Certainly is, as an adjunct to the normal program of training .. ie a time available extra. The main aim is to get across the message that the newer aircraft is still an aircraft and the basics apply without HAVING to have all the bells and whistles singing their songs ..
Having the VSI helps a lot in this case
.. of course it does .. which is why we remove it for the exercise
How do you assure terrain clearance when you are not established on the ILS?
My post noted the use of ILS as part of the recovery. Comparison of flight with unreliable airspeed data (which is just normal flying if you don't live and die by the FD) with the ILS observations confirm that you are on the correct slope.
