BARO REF: As we are flying higher than the “transition altitude” it should already be set to “Standard”
i.e. nothing has to be done.

Descent to Altitude: Before the T/D (Top of Descent) point is reached (marked on the ND flight path
by a white arrow showing down), the altitude should be set to 2.500 feet. But do not push the knob
before T/D is not reached
174.
Initiating Descent: There are various methods for descent but we will use:
Managed Mode: Reaching T/D or if the T/D marker disappears or DECELERATE is displayed on the PFD
(whatever happens first): Just push the knob. The aircraft will now start to descend automatically
according to the flight path calculated in the MCDU – F-PLN.
Once the descent started press the CSTR button on the EFIS control panel to bring the constraints back
up.
