A core flying concept: pitch controls airspeed, power controls altitude. Adjusting pitch changes how fast the airplane moves through the air, while power determines whether you climb, descend, or maintain altitude.

Set the pitch first to achieve the desired airspeed, then use power to hold or change altitude. Mastering this relationship leads to smoother climbs, descents, and more precise aircraft control.
