ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Maintain straight-and-level flight using proper instrument cross-check and interpretation, and coordinated control application.

Bottom line

After interpreting the pitch attitude from the proper flight instruments, exert control pressures to effect the desired pitch attitude with reference to the horizon. Power changes are made primarily by throttle movement, followed by an indicator cross-check to establish a more precise setting.
