strange VNAV dev scale [airl.net-pic]...

[Guest Stefan Bergert]

Hi everybody!Look at following airliners.net -picture showing a B738 (Air Europa) http://www.airliners.net/open.file/800713/L/What do they have for a strange VNAV deviation scale on their NDs??Seems to be the normal white index but then another magenta index where the pointer is on...Airline option? Phantom image because of the camera used?Any ideas,Stefan

[Guest Stefan Bergert]

nobody here?? can't believe it...anyway

picture in the dark + Long opening time on the camera = moving pictureErik

[Guest Stefan Bergert]

ok, but why are all other (ND) indications clear and why is there another color of the 2nd scale (magenta)?Thanks for your suggestion, though,Stefan

[Guest thscholz]

Well, to me it looks like a combination of VNAV pointer and G/S pointer.CheersThomas

Looks like the FMA is in MCP SPD and G/S not VNAV. Still don

[Guest tmetzinger]

appears to me that the MFD is in the APP mode (not MAP) and you're seeing the VNAV deviation pointer (in magenta) and the glideslope index (in white).Or vice versa.

[Guest Stefan Bergert]

Yeah, thought of that but the glideslope index looks completely different...remember, we have a larger scale (compared to the VNAV scale) and we have white diamonds, not a line like the VNAV stuff.Glen, good observation...so a normal FMA approach config (with AT MCP SPD, VOR/LOC and G/S) <-there even shouldn't be any VNAV scale visible at all, correct?More ideas/suggestions?Thanks so far,Stefan
