WizofOz got what I was trying to say but in hindsight, using a descent was a bad example from me, as on a normal descent on a Boeing type would of course be made at around 0 degree pitch hence the FPV would actually move AWAY from the airplane symbol.

However Acheo mentioned an abrupt pitch down which put in my mind a steeper than normal descent i.e from level flight, push forward to pitch 5-10 degrees nose down, what happens to the FPV? It would move toward the airplane symbol.

I've over complicated this now haven't I?
