November 4, 200421 yr The green arc appears in a climb or descent and indicates the approxiamte position at which you reach the altitude set in the MCP altitude preselect window.Best RegardsMax (Bern, LSZB)http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

November 5, 200421 yr It certainly will be -when ATC says 'descend & be level at xxx'Thanks for the adviceBerniehttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg
November 7, 200421 yr Known in the trade as the 'Green Banana'.It shows exactly how far along track you will hit the selected MCP ALT at the current INSTANTANEOUS vertical speed.If you wish to meet an ATC restriction I reccomend entering into the FMC LEGS and let VNAV do th work for you... that way teh DES page shows you your progress towards meeting the restriction.Rgds,
