The command bars move up for a climb or down for descent, and roll left or right to provide lateral guidance. They display the computed angle of bank for standard-rate turns to enable the pilot to reach and fly a selected heading or track. The bars also show pitch commands that allow the pilot to capture and fly an ILS [instrument landing system] glide slope, a preselected pitch attitude, or maintain a selected barometric altitude. 2, record 1, English, - pitch%20command
