We study some robust features of characteristic curves on smooth surfaces in R^4. These curves are analogous to the asymptotic curves in the elliptic region. A P_3(c)-point is an isolated special point at which the unique characteristic (or asymptotic) direction is tangent to the parabolic curve. At this point, by considering the cross-ratio invariant, we show that the 2-jet of the curve formed by the inflections of the characteristic curves is projectively invariant. In addition, we exhibit the possible configurations of the characteristic curves at a P_3(c)-point.
