DESCENT winds are sorted in

A GND wind inserted in APP page
automatically insert or update the

converted to true). (Ex. 3).
When FMGC has switched to DES
phase, wind data are green and no

FMGC has switched to DES phase.
UPDATE CANCEL prompt [6L] reverts
display to the page from which wind
data has been accessed.
UPDATE INSERT [6R] performs a
global insertion of all updated winds
data. When this prompt is pressed,
the page reverts to the respective F-

waypoint.
Descent winds (including alternate
wind) are automatically deleted if the
destination airport is changed.
