but not on a 3 degree glide.

That was not a slope picked out of the air but one which the majority of aircraft can be stabilized on slippery or not so slippery!
Some airports like LCY have a much steeper glide but its interesting to note that both the pilot and aircraft have to be approved to fly those steeper slopes.

There was a stupid argument and it has raged for years re pitch for speed or power for speed.
What a load of utter nonsense.
The same with this argument.
It is all about energy management, drag management two sources of potential energy engine /airframe
If we consider those a truer picture emerges rather than these stupid entrenched camps neither which are wrong or right.
