Electronic Instrument System number 2. It consists of PFD2 and MFD2. It is in front of CM2. CM2 is the pilot sitting in the RH seat. Determination of RH / LH seat is made relative to the direction of the flight, tailslides excepted.

No. Single HDG V/S / TRK FPA button on FCU affects both sides.

CONF iture (or anyone else, for that matter), can you tell the difference between following two statements:

If remaining altitude indication is unreliable: Do not use FPV and/or V/S which are affected.

and

If remaining altitude indication is unreliable: Do not use FPV and/or V/S, which are affected.

Positive answer to this is crucial towards understanding what Dani has written and what is written in FCOM. Critical reasoning tests during airline selection process are not there to amuse psychologists or create work for them.
