n w action is
): A required time of arrival can be defined for a single cruise or descent
waypoint only. An RTA window is computed for both take-off time and during flight. Only the cruise speed
schedule is adjusted to meet the RTA, climb and descent speed schedules remain unchanged. When the
aircraft is in descent, the crew cannot define an RTA.
NOTE: The accuracy of the RTA function is determined largely by the accuracy of the forecast wind,
and the flight time remaining to the RTA waypoint.
Holding patterns: Performance and fuel predictions are computed when a hold is included in the lateral flight
plan or when a holding pattern is active.
NOTE: The VDEV pointer is displayed on the PFD as soon as the FMS transitions to the Descent
phase of flight
Passed the E/D, the VDEV pointer continues to be displayed until the runway threshold if the con
to invalidating the VDEV are not met. The VDEV pointer being in a centered position on
depicts an example.
Engi e out profile: Engine out performance predictions are supported, except in E/C Climb. Cre
