The software in modern aircraft is there to help. Obvious but when the software is not doing what you expect, it is imperative you understand the reason. On the ground stay there until you understand the problem. Had this type of indication on the 330 a few times, taxied to a safe spot & worked out what was going on. Then departed. Except once when even the engineers couldn’t see why the thrust & v speeds were not being presented. Went the next day after an fmgc change. Apparently something had gone very wrong in it which could have caused lots of other probs. They went silent when I asked why had not the good one taken over.
To many pilots just press on not understanding what is wrong & as in this case end up in the sticky stuff.
