Top of Descent – Always white (never armed)

Continue Descent – Blue indicates armed, white indicates NOT armed

Question 2

What color does each altitude constraint circle represent?

(FCOM-DSC-31-45)

Answer 2

White – constraint is not taken into account

Magenta – constraint is predicted to be satisfied

Amber – constraint is predicted to be missed

Question 7

Does predictive windshear detection work when the RADAR system is switched OFF?

(FCOM-DSC-34-60-20)

Answer 7

Yes, if the Windshear switch is in AUTO

Question 8

What is the scanned area of the predictive windshear detection feature?
