Firstly, we're not talking about a glideslope, we're talking about a student pilot on a visual approach.
Ah sorry, my mistake. By the way the thrust of my post was that I don't really understand the 'push forward for glideslope' point of view when it seems better to just reduce power and let the nose sink. However I bow to the collective experience of those far more experienced than me which of course is one of the benefits of this place for new PPLs like moi.

After a few hours you tend not to think about this and you just fly the aircraft as you would drive a car. You don't 'think' about gear changes, do you?
I don't think about it, it's just what I perceive I'm doing. Geng is probably right, I'm unconsciously doing all the other stuff as well.
