It certainly seems the RAF are promoting power for speed at the most basic level: I was being encouraged to pursue that method in a G115 (which is about as light as the RAF aircraft get!) on Wednesday afternoon, by an instructor who is also a qualified civvy FI. I found it perverse; all my instincts from my own training are power for sink rate, pitch for airspeed.
The 2nd time I got it beautifully right and greased the landing - 2 feet above the runway. We then plonked down unceremoniously. I'd failed to get the 'picture' right for an unfamiliar plane!
