The FD SRS mode commands in between 120 fpm and 22.5° N.U. A little cheating trick is that as you exit the worst, and can lower the nose down a bit to regain some sensible speed, not to dip below 15° - flight directors go there only temporarily due to the human pilot not following them perfectly.

Without the FD, the target is 17.5° as per the book.
