Stick the power up which is becuase your below profile the airspeed will stay the same.....

Aye another good reason for not teaching point and power, well done Flyingmac. Sink point it were you want to be going, not enough power, flat attitude with drag down. Nice setup for a stall.

QED

I really can't get to fussed with it all. With some students point and power clicks and others pitch for speed clicks. There really is no huge difference in the 2 techniques. If the previous instructor has started with point and power I will continue it but if I start myself I usually use pitch for speed so I can make them do zero instrument circuits. But in the grand scope of things it really doesn't matter a toss.
