How is the top-of-descent (TOD) depicted on the ND?

On the Navigation Display, the top-of-descent is shown as a green open circle labeled T/D. This symbol marks the computed point where you should commence descent to meet the upcoming altitude constraints and approach profile. The green color indicates it’s part of the active flight plan, and the open circle signifies a computed fix rather than a physical waypoint. The label T/D is the standard abbreviation used on this ND to indicate Top of Descent, distinguishing it from other possible labels like TOD.
