Wiz, in level flight, the aircraft bars ride above the horizon, while the FPV sits on the horizon.

As you pitch down, the FPV drops below the horizon as the pitch bars approach it (and continue below it, if necessary).

So the pitch bars approach the FPV, then the FPV reacts and moves away from them (in a pitch down). Vise Versa in a pitch up.
