SandyYoung:
Lets have an analogy:
You walk along a straight road. At a constant pace. Suddenly you close your eyes.
Do you:
a) Try to keep walking straight. At a constant speed.
b) turn left and start running, then slowing down, then turn right, maybe even backwards?
In pilots terms:
Set a pitch attitude. Set Power. You get performance.
Then open your eyes again.
