ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Transition to the climb pitch attitude and power setting on an assigned heading using proper instrument cross-check and interpretation, and coordinated flight control application.

Bottom line

Cross-check and proper instrument interpretation are essential components of “attitude instrument flying” that enables student pilots to accurately visualize the aircraft’s attitude at all times. Power changes are made primarily by throttle movement, followed by an indicator cross-check to establish a more precise setting.
