Do you feel, as I do, that slow flight in landing configuration should be given more attention, ie setting up rates of descent with the throttle while maintaining speed with elevators, until it is a run of the mill part of the flying. I find it hard to believe that the most important moment of the flight is really not explained or practised more.
All I get from other instructors is "why bother because they won't do it right anyway"., or "it is too complex for the student"
