What calculations are the QNH and temp. variables used for in LDG page.
If the temperature is changed in the LDG page during a managed descent, then the vertical profile often changes, and the AP attempts to regain the profile rather aggressively. I therefore suspect the top of descent point calculation uses that data (as well as the forecast descent winds).

The pressurisation controller will only need the QNH to calculate its diff pressure profile.
