I'll agree. My experience and the way I am teaching is that
primary/secondary is mainly used enroute and maneuvering but when climbs and
descents are needed that control/performance is mainly used, for example
approach power settings. I think instrument flying is a combination of
both, using the method required for the immediate task. As Bob says, the
military almost exclusively uses control/performance but their equipment is
larger and faster and their instruments are more exact, i.e. larger AI,
angle of attack indicator, more accurate airspeed indicator.

My guess, and it is a guess, that virtually all instrument pilots have
been
taught both control/performance and primary/secondary, because in real
life
we use a combination of both. Most, if not all, military pilots learned
the
c/p method. The index for my copy of the Air Force Instrument Flying
Manual
does not even contain an entry for primary/secondary.

Has anyone out there been taught this method of instrument flying?
