Hi Michael.

The flight was with a the set to a light westerly. So my flight plan is like this:

EHAM RWY22 SID (LEKO1G) LARAS STAR (WOOD4A) TRANS (ANT) RWY25R EBBR

That was the flight plan I used. LARAS is the only waypoint between end of SID an beginning of STAR. I'm using Navigraph AIRAC 1105.

What altitude did you use? I tried 14000 ASL but I think that is too high. On the HSI map the T/C was beyond the T/D. Left up to the FMC I think it became confused. Even though I had entered 6000 ASL before T/D the plane tried to climb to 14000 ASL after the T/D. I disengaged VNAV and controlled the descent myself. On a flight several days ago I used 12000 ASL and was able to use VNAV with no issues, I think 14000 ASL is too high for this short of flight. 12000 ASL gave me about 10 miles between T/C and T/D and eliminated the overlap of T/C and T/D.
