Flight Plan Markers
Flight plan markers are special entries which mark certain things which must be
made obvious to the flight crew.
Applies to active or secondary flight plan.
Performance Mode Pages
The PERF (Performance) pages present the flight crew with FMS speed mode
data, along with time and distance predictions for planned altitude transitions for
the climb, cruise, and descent phases of flight. The two types of PERF pages are
active and preselect.
Active Pages - display the active FMS speed mode used for guidance and provide
predictions to determine the proper speed targets for the current phase of flight.
The title line of the active PERF page will display the active FMS speed mode and
current phase of flight. Available active performance modes are:
• In climb, available FMS speed modes are ECON, MAX, CLB, and EDIT.
• In cruise, available FMS speed modes are ECON, MAX END, and EDIT.
• In descent, available FMS speed modes are ECON (POLICY), MAX
DES, and EDIT.
Available FMS speed modes and their associated speeds are displayed for review
or activation, with the speed of the currently active mode displayed in large font.
Speeds of the non active FMS speed modes are displayed in small font with an
asterisk prompt for activation.
In addition to activating FMS speed via the PERF page, the flight crew may affect
the FMS speed mode via the FCP as follows:
• Pushing the FMS SPD switch within 10 seconds of preselecting an FCP
speed activates the EDIT speed mode.
