As shown, FUELR is the Descent Reference Waypoint
that establishes #TOD. Because the programmed
FPA allows for a vertical descent that meets the
vertical constraints at CIVET, FUELR remains the
Descent Reference Waypoint.

In this case, since the programmed FPA at FUELR is
too shallow to meet the vertical constraints at CIVET,
the system reassigns CIVET at the Descent Reference
Waypoint, using the default FPA to compute #TOD.
