Is anyone else having the same experience?

Hi Chris,

Are you using the DES NOW function in the FMC, or descending at the usual T/D point?

In the initial stage of descents from T/D, I also experience quite high descent rates.

An early descent with DES NOW works correctly at -1250fpm for me, but if starting at T/D, the aircraft will wait for the diamond on the deviation scale to show the aircraft is slightly too high on the VNAV path before it pitches to begin descending.
I then experience a higher descent rate (between -3000 and -4000fpm) as the aircraft catches up with the path on the scale.
Once back on vertical profile, the descent rate usually becomes more sensible.

Is this what you experience?

Cheers
