FENIX A320- Navigation Display symbols and their meaning

[@speedlime1515]

Thanks for sharing this, goes along way to explain what those symbols are. Maybe TCAS symbols can be next on how to read and interpret them. Thanks for the great content.

[@Blackbox711]

Hi. Thank you. And a great suggestion regarding TCAS.

[@WLY]

Wonderful!

[@Blackbox711]

Thank you very much for your support. That means a lot to me! Happy landings to you

[@Breenild]

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation! Even I already know something about the Airbus, there was a lot in, which was new for me!

[@Blackbox711]

Thank you very much

I didn't knew, that the calculated wind data and arrow are based on different north reference. I wonder, if there is a reason why. I never flew near the poles so I never noticed the difference. There is always something new to learn from your videos. Thank you very much for your effort making these for our flight sim immersion 😁👍🏼

[@Blackbox711]

Thank you. I can only say that the numerical wind data is a calculated value from the ADIRS, which computes everything in True North. However, the displayed Magnetic Heading is also derived from the ADIRS with an internal magnetic variation database. So I would imagine it is possible to display the numerical value also with reference to magnetic north.

Very informative. Thanks.

Thank you very much

What about Cyan Dashed line? I believe it shows route for Alternate.

[@Blackbox711]

Yep, I covered that in the video.

[@Blackbox711]

In the FENIX it is solid cyan

[@ClanLawrence]

@@Blackbox711 Solid Cyan is Missed Approach, as you stated in the video. You never covered dashed Cyan line, that's why I commented.

[@Blackbox711]

@@ClanLawrence sorry, the dashed cyan line I didn’t cover. It shows the inactive alternate route. Since this is so rarely entered in the MCDU I decided not to cover it.

Whats the thunder sign on ND

[@Blackbox711]

Shows where the optimum vertical path is reached with the current vertical speed

[@gilgaspar320]

hello. in the FBW I don't have that missed approach route? any idea?

[@Blackbox711]

Hi. FBW isn’t a fully functional addon, so it could be that it isn’t implemented yet. Are you using stable or experimental version?

[@gilgaspar320]

@@Blackbox711 experimental

Hello blackbox! I hope you’re fine. I have a question. I was flying in my fenix a320 and I suddenly saw on my navigation display a heading that had a diamond before it and a letter G. I only saw it for like half an hour. What is it? Is it something related to true/magnetic heading? Many thanks.

[@Blackbox711]

Hey 👋 That was the so-called Grid-Heading. Happens in the FENIX if you are flying far north.

[@Shah84838]

@@Blackbox711 thanks for your answer. How is that grid heading different from the normal heading? Thanks again!

[@Blackbox711]

Grid Heading refers to the heading of an aircraft based on a grid system. Pilots often use a grid navigation system in high northern or southern latitudes where the Earth's surface is divided into a grid pattern, and the aircraft's heading is described in relation to this grid (instead of magnetic north) for navigation purposes.

[@soulrender3366]

Thx a lot!

[@Blackbox711]

Thank you

[@devansh8846]

In your earlier days, you used to say, "Hey guys, BlackBox here". I expect that everytime I see your tutorial videos. 😅✌🏻 Why is it called ROSE mode?

[@billB101]

compass rose

[@Blackbox711]

Hi. Like Bill answered. It is a 360 degree picture of a compass rose.

Thanks @Blackbox and @Bill
