Continuous N1 (CON N1)
Displays N1 for maximum continuous thrust.
N1 is computed using actual bleed conditions.
4
Maximum Altitude (MAX ALT)
Displays the computed maximum altitude at which a company–specified rate of
climb can be achieved, using one engine at maximum continuous thrust (default
climb rate is 100 feet per minute).
After page selection, the FMC accounts for wing and engine anti–ice, air
conditioning, and the engine bleed of the operating engine.

LT ENG OUT/RT ENG OUT
Selected engine is shown in reverse highlighting.
Early Descent
Early descents are initiated from the DES page. Once an early descent is executed,
VNAV transitions to the descent mode and cruise features are no longer available.
For a path descent the DES NOW prompt will not be displayed until a descent path
is established. Once executed, the autothrottle adjusts thrust to maintain 1000 feet
per minute until intercepting the descent path.

Descend Now (DES NOW)
Selecting the DES page before reaching the top of descent displays the normal
descent page with the prompt DES NOW on the bottom right of the page.
Selecting and executing the DES NOW prompt initiates a VNAV descent of 1000
feet per minute at ECON speed. Upon reaching the planned descent path, VNAV
transitions to maintain the planned descent path.
