Plus don't forget:
PAT and APT tell you how to achieve, to maintain use, L.A.I. :
LLookout
In a scan loop ahead, look out to the left and scan from left to right, passing over the nose of the aeroplane.
A Attitude
Ensure the attitude is correct relative to the horizon and, more importantly, constant.
I Instruments
Used to confirm accurate flight – not set it. From right to left the instruments are scanned, and this brings the scan back to the left side of the aeroplane and the process starts again.
During the instrument scan, only those instruments important to the phase of flight are read. In this case the altimeter will probably be scanned on every sweep, with oil pressure and temperature scanned every 10th sweep.
Should be PAT for desecent otherwise you may cause confusion on PFL if you teach converting airspeed to altiude,also prepares for base leg reconfiguration, also stops APT & PAT confusion-we teach APT is a pushover!
