The way the FCOM read to me was that the FCP altitude is the value it compares to for reference. Does it use the logical value from PROF as the target?

TheFightingRaven commented 5 months ago

what I read is indicated altitude moves away from the selected altitude not the opposite, I also have seen reference of pilots dialing down the FCP and no altitude alert plays
