Yes. the green curve represents the "selected" altitude recorded by flight Guidance. Each time the FD disengage and re-engage, it will take the current FL as the new value for "selected".... and FD disengages a lot during the first minute!
Hi takata,
With reference to this question and your reply, how do you explain (on page 112 of the french report, also on page 113) the cycling of 'Mach selecté' between 02:00:00 and 02:09:55? Is this Mach_1, Mach_2 or Mach_3?
