This is one of those things that will probably be explained to me soon enough, but it's nagging at me in my reading....
As a PPL, one of the things hammered into my head during those first 40 hours was "power for altitude, pitch for airspeed." And it's something that I still practice and think about.
But in my reading assignments (presently, chapter 6 of the IFH, since I'm starting with a new CFII on Friday) the IFH specifically talks about the opposite - pitching for altitude and power for airspeed.
I know that both can be correct - my real question is twofold - 1. Why is one way taught, and then another taught? 2. Should I be choosing one over the other in instrument flying or is that incidental? What's going on here?
