  1. I noticed I can hear the flaps moving in the cockpit. Surely that's a bug?
  2. I'm aware of the fact that this is how the descent works when I want it to start at T/D. But how would I start a descent 10-20nm earlier and then have the plane intercept the descent path?
  3. I initiated my descent by resetting my altitude to the restriction I wanted to meet at 4k feet, then hit PROFILE to start descending. I did that around 30nm before the actual ToD. Is this how you not start an early descent? The plane correctly started descending at 1k fpm so I expected it to catch the descent path after a while. But instead it slowed down to green dot speed and there was no VNAV indicator on the display. Target speed was Vapp (133 kts) but obviously it stopped at green dot speed because the flaps were up. The VNAV diamond never returned. On the PROG page in the MCDU I could see that I was too low so I leveled off until I was just a few hundred feet below the descent path and hit PROFILE again. No dice, it just didn't intercept the descent path. I really don't see what could possibly have caused the plane to think it's on approach at like FL320.
