Displayed with any altitude constraint directly beneath.
• dashed vertical line depicts lateral position
• during QFE operations, altitude constraints are shown in parentheses
below the QNH values
Displayed for approaches that have a designated approach angle:
• dashed line extends 10 NM for situational awareness
• anchored to the missed approach waypoint, not the runway
Displayed as triangle(s) on waypoint anchor line.
Vertical Situation Display (VSD) - Flight Path Background
Displays the selected vertical speed as a dashed target angle line when the MCP
V/S mode is selected.
Displays the flight path angle vector as a dashed target angle line when the MCP
FPA mode is selected.
Indicates current flight path angle as a function of vertical speed and groundspeed.
The length of the vector is fixed at one half of the VSD range.
Indicates where the airplane will achieve the FMC or MCP target speed:
• dot is blanked within 5 knots of target speed
• dot reappears if speed increases 10 knots or more faster than target speed
