Flight Mode Annunciation Window
The lateral and vertical navigation mode sections of the FMA field are further
subdivided into subfields for the Active (engaged) and Armed modes. The Autoflight
displays only one active and one armed mode at a time for lateral and vertical
control. If the system is reporting both an active and armed mode as valid for display
the active mode appears to the left in green and the armed mode appears to the right
in white.
