well I am another one that can patter both.
My thoughts on it are.
I have just finished battering the point across about triming the aircraft.
I have just battered to death that if you set the power and set the attitude in a configuration the aircraft will do xxknts.
To me the pitch for speed and power for profile is just a continuation of the above lessons.
You can take it to the extreme when you do no-instruments circuits with them. Which I can't see you being able to do if they have to look at the ASI with point and power.
But to be honest by the time they are doing x-country's the whole lot is pretty much linked anyway.
Myself if I am flying IMC on a ILS its point and power.
Visual or NPA its the other one. But you wouldn't know the difference by watching me fly it.
