ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Climb at a constant airspeed to specific altitudes in straight flight and turns.

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. When the correct pitch attitude has been attained, the pilot should hold it constant while cross-checking it against the horizon and other outside visual references. The airspeed indicator should be used only as a check to determine if the attitude is correct.
