June 2, 20224 yr What does the light blue 'up and down symbol/indicator' represent in this photo? https://www.dropbox.com/s/7vr9a5s6yys75o0/Fenix A320.jpg?dl=0 George Westwell
June 2, 20224 yr Indicated the point in your descent path at which you will intercept the calculated descent profile, from above or bellow. Intercept Point :The intercept symbol shows the point on the flight plan where the aircraft will intercept the FMGC computed vertical descent profile. It is displayed in white if DES mode is not armed and in blue when DES mode is armed. It can appear if the aircraft is either above or below the FMGC computed descent profile.
