Appreciate the reply, out of interest do you find this information in the FCOM/AUTOFLIGHT/MANAGEMENT part or is it in the FMGS specific part, because can not seem to find the chapter. I want to know if the aircraft I will fly (still doing the TR) has the new latched mode or is the existing software..

It's in the FCOM,

DURING THE DESCENT

In order to monitor the vertical position of the aircraft, the flight crew will see the following on the PFD:

• Vertical deviation symbol (VDEV) along the ALT scale and its associated Latch symbol, and
• VDEV value on the FMS PROG page.
