7.3. APPROACH ACTIVATION
 Automatic activation
APPR PHASE is automatically activated at the DECEL pseudo-wpt,
provided that NAV mode is engaged and altitude is below 7200 ft AGL.
The (DECEL) pseudo-waypoint is
calculated by the FMGC to initiate
deceleration in order to be stabilized at
VAPP at a specified point on the
approach profile, normally at 1000ft
AGL.
Its position will vary with descent speed
& entered winds.
(DECEL) is shown:
− On F-PLN page by (DECEL) pseudo waypoint.
In the flight scenario DECEL point is between BIG (the IAF) and LOC
interception.
− On ND:
 If Speed and Lateral are managed:
DECEL pseudo-waypoint is displayed by a symbol (magenta).
 If Speed and/or Lateral mode is selected:
symbol is not normally displayed; if DECEL 2 option is selected
(OPC file), it is displayed in white.
