point and power

The problem with the point and power technique is that it was brought in by CFS in order to prepare students for fast jet training. If you are approaching at 120knots then using the elevator to reduce speed means a large divergence from the glide path, this is due to the much greater inertia In most light aircraft however, this is not a problem and I suggest that for PPL training that the tried and tested method of elevator for airspeed and power for ROD doth apply, if I ever get to fly a Hawk then I will use the CFS method!
