That is exactly what we are taught to do, but making
something as counter-intuitive as 'raise nose go faster'
does strike me as dangerous in the extreme - a huge
amount of the the instruction from 1st flight is based
around 'nose down go faster, nose up go slower'.


I still wonder how such a rule cold be created at all.

Where I fly this rule is regarded as an urban legend and student
pilots are told accordingly to lower the nose if they get too slow.
