Hi,

After reading the FCOM I still don't have an answer for what happen to me last flight, perhaps someone can help me on this...

After rotation on an A319 I notice that the Vertical Speed Analog Pointer was displaying white... after a few seconds, maybe 5 or 10s, it became green as normal... I don't recall ever seeing this, it's always green or amber, depending on the conditions, as described on FCOM... any ideas?

Have a look at DCS 34-80-20 PFD Indications.

"In case of RA detection, the vertical speed needle that is normally green, becomes white." (Presumably so you can see it against the green background).

The inhibitions are listed in DSC 34-80-10 Advisory inhibitions.

It looks like something was inhibited but the needle displayed turned white anyway. (I'm surmising at this point).
