Pete491 0 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Guys, I'm not sure what this is called but the PMDG 737 has a feature where, once you enter a new altitude and start your descent an arc will show estimating where you will be when you reach the commanded altitude at the current rate of descent. Very nice when the controller gives you a "Descend to xxx Level by xxx". I'm new to the Airbus. Does it have this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleD 1027 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 In real life there is something similar, commonly referred to (around here) as the hockey stick. But, as I think Wayne is suggesting, it is not implemented into the AAX. It's function is also a bit different than the Boeing arc you refer to, not to mention the look of it.

OY-VKS 21 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Actually the Airbus has this half circle as well. But its only displayed in selected mode. And I would very much like to see the complete set of 'hockey sticks' AND the energy circle implemented... Regards Jesper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleD 1027 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 If it comes, it will come. Going to lock since there really is no point keeping it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
