Lateral mode change and vertical mode reversion
This reversion to V/S (FPA) mode on the current V/S target does not modify the pitch behavior of the aircraft. It is the flight crew’s responsibility to adapt pitch, if necessary.
THE AIRCRAFT ENTERS A F-PLN DISCONTINUITY
NAV mode is lost, when entering a F-PLN discontinuity. On the lateral axis, the aircraft reverts to HDG (or TRK) mode. On the vertical axis, the same reversion (as the one indicated above) occurs.
THE PF MANUALLY FLIES THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE FD ON, AND DOES NOT FOLLOW THE FD PITCH ORDERS
If the flight crew does not follow the FD pitch orders, an A/THR mode reversion occurs. This reversion is effective, when the A/THR is in THRUST MODE (THR IDLE, THR CLB), and the aircraft reaches the limits of the speed envelope (VLS, VMAX):
Reversion to speed mode
A/THR in SPEED mode automatically readjusts thrust to regain the target speed. The FD bars will disappear, because they are not being followed by the PF.

TRIPLE CLICK
8 Applicable to: MSN 2593-4078
The "triple click" is an aural alert. It is an attention-getter, designed to draw the flight crew's attention to the FMA.
The PFD FMA highlights a mode change or reversion with a white box around the new mode, and the pulsing of its associated FD bar.
The reversions, described in the previous paragraph, are also emphasized via the triple click aural alert.
Note: The triple click also appears in the following, less usual, cases:
? SRS ▸ CLB (OPCLB) reversion: If, the flight crew selects a speed on the FCU
? The V/S selection is "refused" during ALT *: The flight crew pulls the V/S knob, while in ALT*
? The V/S target is not followed, because the selected target is too high, and leads to VMIN/VMAX.

PURPOSE OF THE ECAM
Applicable to: ALL
The Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring (ECAM) system is a main component of Airbus’ two-crewmember cockpit, which also takes the "dark cockpit" and "forward-facing crew" philosophies into account.
