ENERGY CIRCLE
The energy circle is a green arc, centered on the aircraft's position and oriented towards the current track line. It is displayed on the NDs during descent, when HDG or TRK mode is selected. It represents the required distance to land from the aircraft's position down to airport elevation at VAPP speed, considering all speed constraints on the vertical profile.

Guys....every time I see this energy circle...on a descent phase,
I kind of wonder....
When do I use this thing???
and HOW ???
Any seggestions ..... ^^:rolleyes:
