A380 Velocity Vector pb

Hi all pilots out there,


i recently read the "A380 Briefing for pilots" which you can also find on smartcockpit.com.
Chapter Autoflight mentions a pushbutton called "VV" which is described as velocity vector. The pb is at the same position as the button for the FD on former Airbus models (direct under baro ref).
Unfortunately (for me at least ) the use and function of "velocity vector" is not further described in the document. I realy have no idea what it could represent except my only guess: to enable/disable the thing I know as speed trend vector, but I cannot imagine that AI made an extra button for this.

So I ask you if you have any ideas what that could be for.
BTW a great forum - my first post

I am looking forward to your answers

best regards from LOWL
