Regarding the climb & descend technique (whether using PAT or SHoT), another 'term' comes in - "simultaneuosly" and "progressively".
In the climb, you select full POWER & climb ATTITUDE "simultaneously", then trim.
In the glide descend, you select idle POWER, then "progressively" select glide descend ATTITUDE as you approach glide speed.
Did I just cause more confusion...?
