Why the default descent angle in the FMS is 4.8 ?
I would'nt like to be a PAX sitting in the back during that descent... For me 4.0 is better give roughly 2700 to 3000 ft/mn of descent maybe a bit early but better safe than sorry.

I found TOD to be where it should be instead of always ahead of me in descent.

Any comments? common don't be shy...
