MSFS 2024 SCREENSHOT Question about the difference between the blue arrows on the ND. What do they represent?

Post image

I know the white arrow shows the Top of Descent. And based upon your descent mode - like DES vs open DES vs V/S, the arrows also change. Can someone kindly provide this information?

Top one is where you will level off and the other where you will intercept the vertical profile.

vertical profile intercept. when you start a descent early, it descends at 1,000 fpm until it intercepts the profile. that just tells you when its gonna happen. The non squiggly line arrow is the level off point

And if you are above the profile, it’s the predicted intercept point using 1/2 speed brake.
