Lean Back And Enjoy
The autopilot is flying now and we have a little break. The next thing we have to do will be just before
we start descending. You can change the camera and look around for the time being. This flight isn't
very long so don't play around for too long. About 6 minutes after lift off we already have to think
about descending again
Cruise
The autopilot will stop climbing at the selected altitude, which is 12000 ft for our flight. The primary
flight display should now show in green: “SPEED”, “ALT CRZ” and “NAV” as seen on the screenshot
below. You can start with the descent preparations as soon as “ALT CRZ” is shown in green in the
second column of the primary flight display.
Top Of Descent Arrow
A white arrow comes into view on the navigation display of the A320. This white arrow marks the
point at which the descent starts, the so called top of descent point.
