Just don't expect to be doing a "max performance landing" if using power+attitude alone, because a small change in the pitch attitude results in a fairly big change in the airspeed.

Also it is not that easy to read off the pitch on the normal type of horizon. On the KI-256 I can barely tell the difference between say 4 and 6 degrees.

With a blocked pitot I would head for a nice long runway.
