Airbus FMS

Hi Guys,

Just want to check, how do we program an in-between restriction for a waypoint ? Like you need to cross a certain waypoint above 4000ft and below 6000ft? A good example is a EGLL SID.

Do we have to :-

1) Monitor the at or above 4000ft restriction manually by eyeballing the performance?

OR

2) The FMS is smart enough to just display the most limiting? Thus we can assume that the A/C will meet the at or above 4000ft? On my FMS, the height restiction is displayed ONLY as at or below 6000ft.

Thanks a lot for your help. Really new to the Airbus game.

Cheers,
