I am mostly concerned with jocking the thrust around chasing after airspeed. Takes away a lot of my concentration. I think general power settings to shoot for might help.
Definately. Just get the power close to what you think is good you know? Then walk them up or back to make minor corrections. I mean walk them too. Fractions of an inch at a time. Put in lots of power ONLY when absolutely necessary, and then you better be taking it right out again, else ZOOM.
As far as talking goes, yeah it points out your errors, but more importantly it shows your SA that something is wrong, and it gives the evaluator the option to help you if you say something stupid. IE "descending to x altitude" when you should be going to y altitude. Get my drift?
Verbalize everything humanly possible, until it begins to distract yourself that is.
