August 10, 200223 yr Does moving map on the FMC display where on the map you will reach the altitude you descending to. For example If I'm at FL 350 and set my altitude for FL 240 and start to descend at 2000 FPM doing Mach 0.76 will the map mark the location where I should reach FL240. This was a handy feature for making crossing restrictions that was available on a predecessor to PIC.Thanks ... Rich
August 10, 200223 yr Commercial Member Yes, there's a big green arc that displays across the flight path that shows where you will reach the altitude dialed into the MCP ALT window based on airspeed and vertical speed - just like the real plane. It makes it really easy to hit crossing restrictions, just adjust the V/S wheel until the arc it on top of the fix you need to hit.
