Hey mate!

i know that the lozenge is a plane, but what that number below the lozenge means?
The number is the vertical distance, measured in feet (ft), between you and the lozenge :) So that means that aeroplane is 200ft below you.
the arrow is the direction that the plane is going right?
Correct!Ashley Frew.

Isn't it *100ft? Because when planes land on the runway and I'm next to it I see numbers like 4; 3; etc.

Sorry zach and dimitrij. I'll retreat to my dungeon now wearing nothing but my clown hat :Monkey:A. Fool. I mean Frew.

Yes' date=' it is.Where 19 would be above 1,900'. -2 would be below, 200'.[/quote']Also, the arrow symbol next to the target is not the direction of flight, but the target's vertical trend... Upward pointing arrow, the target is climbing in relation to you, downward pointing arrow, the target is descending.

f5NTU.jpgand here, why there is 2 kinds of lozenge (one painted and other not)?

Manin G.

Just think about it. Why would that particular aircraft be painted over the others? :(

dunno, could be another type of aircraft or could be because he's closer than others

Manin G.

Exactly. Cause he's closer. You can find all the answers you'd ever want in the manuals. This one in particular is in the FCOM2 page 706
