Has the EASA syllabus changed then? My copy says:-
(viii) Exercise 6: Straight and level:
(A) at normal cruising power, attaining and maintaining straight and level flight;
(B) flight at critically high air speeds;
(C) Demonstration of inherent stability;
(D) Control in pitch, including use of trim;
(E) Lateral level, direction and balance and trim;
(F) at selected air speeds (use of power);
(G) during speed and configuration changes;
(H) use of instruments for precision.
Is this out of date? We still teach slow safe cruise
