Hi Alejandro,Your probably correct, but ive posted a picture anyway! The figure increases from 0 - 6 when under full throttle and then disappears from the display around 135kts (IAS).The character above the D/height input figures.......... I thought was an 8 or B is probably a 0...............but I can't figure out what its for??Thanks for your HelpRegardsJohn

John,I've tried to reproduce the "acc" indication in the Hawker but nothing. When does this occur?The green number is your current radar altitude, an alarm will sound when radar altitude=decision height.Take care,http://www.avsim.com/hangar/fly/dfdg/banneraa.jpg

Hi again,Alejandro, the acc display is on instantly as soon as the Hawker(Pereguine) fires up. I'll go and try it a few more times just to make sure.Speak to you soonJohn
